Females carrying SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ show only 87.9% viability.
At 25oC, the viability of females carring SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ is reduced by approximately 25% compared to males carrying SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ. This female lethal effect is enhanced at 29oC and suppressed at 18oC. The viability of males carrying one or two copies of SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ is at most only slightly less than that of males that do not carry SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ. In contrast, the viability of females carrying one copy of SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ is reduced by about 15% compared to females that do not carry SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ, while it is reduced by nearly 25% in females carrying two copies of SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ. The surviving females are usually phenotypically wild type, although occasionally weak transformations are seen. The viability of females carring SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ is further reduced if they are also heterozygous for SxlfP7B0. Females carrying two copies of SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ and heterozygous for SxlfP7B0 have reduced viability compared to females carrying one copy of SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ and heterozygous for SxlfP7B0. 10% of males carrying SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ show phenotypes characteristic of sex transformations, including reduced or patchy abdominal pigmentation, extra sternite hairs, rotated genitalia and alterations in the number or shape of sex combs. The frequency of partially feminised males increases as the temperature decreases.

SxlN.Hsp83.lacZ has partially lethal | dominant | female phenotype, suppressible by Df(2R)CX1
SxlN.Hsp83.lacZ has partially lethal | dominant | female phenotype, suppressible by fl(2)d[+]/fl(2)d1

Df(1)dm75e19 females crossed with SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ males generate Df(1)dm75e19/+ females with 75% of the viability found in their wild-type siblings.
SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ females that are trans-heterozygous for SxlfP7B0 and dm1 are two-thirds as viable as their SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ SxlfP7B0/+ sisters.
The reduced viability of females carrying SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ is completely suppressed by fl(2)d1/+.
Heterozygous snf1 females are fully viable. This viability is reduced if the females also carry SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ, the viability decreasing as the number of copies of SxlN.Hsp83.T:Ecol\lacZ increase.
