denticle belt & thorax
dpphr92/+ mutant wings show thickened, bifurcated veins.
The hindgut of heterozygous and homozygous embryos is significantly shorter than that of wild-type embryos. In heterozygotes, the hindgut is associated with abnormally internalised anal pads. In homozygous embryos, the small intestine and rectum form normally, but the large intestine is very short.
Embryos show cuticular holes, disorganization of the head skeleton, internalization of the seventh and eighth abdominal segments and a thoracic constriction. The first and second ventral denticle belts are expanded up to the dorsal midline. The filzkorper are entirely absent.
Survival of heterozygotes is reduced if also heterozygous for certain alleles of tld.
Dominant lethality less than 50%. Homozygous and transheterozygous embryos were examined with respect to 25 cuticular markers, results demonstrate a graded requirement for dpp along the dorso-ventral axis.
Moderate ventralised phenotype. Rings of ventral denticle belts differentiate around the entire dorsoventral axis, almost no dorsal hairs are seen and the antennal and maxillary sense organs are missing. Defective movements of the germ band: due to loss of the amnioserosa and because the dorsalmost cells have acquired the lateral fate of the dorsal ectoderm. Dorsal cell fates are deleted and ventrolateral mitotic domains are expanded.

dpp[+]/dpphr92 is an enhancer of visible | adult stage phenotype of Irk2DN.UAS, Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096
dpp[+]/dpphr92 is a non-enhancer of visible | adult stage phenotype of Irk2UAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4da.G32
dpp[+]/dpphr92 is an enhancer of wing phenotype of Irk2DN.UAS, Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096

dpp[+]/dpphr92 is a suppressor | partially of germarium phenotype of Cul2GD8913, Scer\GAL4ptc.PU
dpp[+]/dpphr92 is a suppressor | partially of spectrosome phenotype of Cul2GD8913, Scer\GAL4ptc.PU

The increased number of spectrosome-containing cells in germaria characteristic for adult females expressing Cul2GD8913 RNAi under the control of the Scer\GAL4ptc.PU can be partially rescued by combination with either dpphr92, dpphr56 or tkv7 in a heterozygous state or by knocking-down dpp by co-expression of either dppJF01090 or dppJF01091 RNAi.
One copy of dpphr92 enhances the wing defects seen when Irk2DN.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096. 84% of wings from female flies expressing the P{UAS-Irk2.DN}5.2 insertion line display defects, with 29% of these considered to be severe. When the stronger P{UAS-Irk2.DN}5.1 insertion line is expressed 97% of wings from female flies display severe defects.
One copy of dpphr92 does not enhance the wing vein defects seen when Irk2Scer\UAS.cDa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096.
dpphr92/+ partially suppresses the Su(var)3-3ΔN mutant supernumerary germline cell phenotype resulting in an increased number of germline cysts with branched fusomes and maturing egg chambers.

Based on considerations of degree of dominant lethality, dpp alleles can be placed in an allelic series. Progressing from weakest to most severe the series is: dppe87 < dppe90 < dpphr56 < dpphr4 < dpphr92 < dpphr27 < dpphr93 < dppH94 < dppH95 < dppH96 = dppH91 = dppH46.
