Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

90% of ovarioles have no distinct interfollicle stalks in newly eclosed dalyh females. In the remaining 10% of ovarioles, the posteriormost (first formed) follicle is separated by a stalk from the next youngest cyst, but in these cases the second and third cysts of the ovariole are always contained in a single continuous epithelium. In older mutant females there are extensive defects in the vitellarium, although the overall organisation of the germarium appears to be undisturbed. There is an increased distance between regions 1 and 2b of the germaria compared to wild type. There is no evidence of constriction by somatic cells in the posterior region of region 3 of the germarium, which normally happens to complete follicle individualisation. In extreme cases, as the defects accumulate with age, regions 2b and 3 of the germarium are no longer distinguishable. Most ovarioles have no distinct interfollicle stalks in newly eclosed da2/dalyh females. dalyh homozygotes that are also expressing dahs.PSP show formation of ectopic stalks at the expense of the follicular epithelium in the ovaries; partially exposed germline cysts with stalk-like somatic cells that stretch along the cyst are seen. dalyh homozygous females that are also carrying Dp(2;Y)B231 show degradation of the germline cysts. In germaria which are depleted of mature cysts, stil-dividing germline cysts, which are usually confined to region 2a, spread posteriorly and become surrounded by somatic cells. At the anterior end of the germarium, stem cells occasionally slip out of the germline niche and are lost. dalyh females show a drastic reduction in the number of apoptotic cells in the germarium compared to wild type.

dalyh shows no maternal effects on sex determination in complementation tests with da alleles. dalyh shows no visible phenotypes in combination with null da alleles and deletions. Homozygous and dalyh/da2 ovaries show multiple follicular defects, such as missing stalks, multicyst follicles and degeneration of late-stage cysts. The phenotype of homozygous ovaries worsens with age. Dp(2;Y)B231 ; dalyh/dalyh females have ovarioles defects, including long interfollicular stalks and shrunken germaria that are occasionally attached directly to mid-to-late stage follicles.

dalyh shows no maternal effects on sex determination in genetic interaction tests with Sxl, sisA and sc. dalyh stl8-1204 double heterozygotes do not show ovariole defects. 85% of Dp(2;Y)cb50 ; dalyh stl8-1204/Df(2L)J27 ovarioles are normal, with the remaining 15% only having mild defects.

dalyh fails to complement da2 for follicle cell formation. Two copies of dahs.PSP completely rescue the dalyh loss of function phenotype at 25oC. Su(dalyh)26H626H6 dominantly suppresses the dalyh phenotype, with only 15% of ovarioles showing mild defects in the rescued flies. dalyh ovaries in a homozygous Su(dalyh)26H626H6 background are completely normal.

This allele is defective predominantly in the somatic cells of the ovary, where it appears to behave like a null.
