frusat15/Df(3R)fru4-40 males lack the muscle of Lawrence.
The interpulse interval is significantly longer than normal and sine song is completely absent in fruΔC/frusat15 males.
Midline crossing by foreleg gustatory receptor neuron (GRN) axons is nearly absent in fruP1.LexA/frusat15 XY animals.
15.0% of fruw12/frusat15 embryos have abnormal Fas2-positive fascicles and 16.3% have defects in the distribution and pattern of BP102-positive axons in the central nervous system. Axonal outgrowth of the dMP2 and vMP2 neurons can be delayed in these embryos, while in some cases the growth cone appears to initiate growth in an abnormal direction. 15.8% of frusat15/fruAJ96u3 embryos have abnormal Fas2-positive fascicles and 17.4% have defects in the distribution and pattern of BP102-positive axons in the central nervous system. 12.4% of frusat15/Df(3R)fruw24 embryos have abnormal Fas2-positive fascicles and 18.4% have defects in the distribution and pattern of BP102-positive axons in the central nervous system. frusat15/fruM5 and frusat15/fru4-40 embryos have normal Fas2-positive and BP102-positive axon tracts in the central nervous system. The average number of repo-positive glial cells is not different from wild type in fruw12/frusat15 embryos, although the pattern of the repo-positive glial cells is slightly abnormal. The Fas2-positive and BP102-positive axon tracts in the central nervous system are defective in virtually all fruw12/frusat15 embryos which are expressing fruMA.Scer\UAS.cSa, fruMB.Scer\UAS.cSa or fruMC.Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-537.4.
2% fruw12/frusat15 adult escapers are seen. 5% frusat15/fruw27 adult escapers are seen. 32% of fru1/frusat15 males are fertile (this may reflect genetic background effects). 33% of fru0-1/frusat15 males are fertile (this may reflect genetic background effects). Male-female courtship as measured by courtship index (CI) or wing extension index (WEI) is completely abolished in frusat15/fru4-40, frusat15/fruM5 males. frusat15/fruM5 or frusat15/fru4-40 males show substantial chaining. fruw12/frusat15 adults that have been dissected from the pupal case show minor external defects, such as uninflated wings, wings held at a 70-90o angle to the body, leg joint defects and duplicated bristles. The number and pattern of divisions of larval neuroblasts in the thoracic ganglia or brain appears normal in frusat15/Df(3R)fruw24 animals. The male-specific abdominal neuroblasts are present and actively dividing in frusat15/Df(3R)fruw24 males.
fru1/frusat15 males mated individually to a single virgin female show vigorous courtship behaviour, comparable to that of wild-type males. High levels of abdominal bending are seen in the males that show courtship behaviour. However, the proportion of males that mate is reduced compared to wild type; 18% of the transheterozygous males court but do not mate. The fertility of the males (as assayed by the ability of the mated females to produce progeny) is reduced compared to wild-type males. The transheterozygous males show longer than normal mating-initiation latencies compared to heterozygous controls. Mating duration is also longer than normal and shows a far more scattered distribution than that of wild-type males.
The number of progeny (number of resulting pupae) obtained from a fertile mating between a fru1/frusat15 male and a wild-type female are not significantly different to wild type.
