chinmoM33/chinmo1, chinmoM33/Df(2L)S2, chinmoM33/Df(2L)ast2, chinmoM33/Df(2L)dp-79b, chinmoM33/Df(2L)Exel6005, chinmoM33/Df(2L)ED7762, chinmoM33/Df(2L)BSC480, or chinmoM33/Df(2L)BSC521 mutants are lethal.
chinmoM33/chinmoM33 mutant somatic cyst stem cell clones are lost from the adult testis stem cell niche and testes do not exhibit any signs of sex transformation.
chinmoST/chinmoM33 or chinmoKG05386/chinmoM33 mutant males exhibit somatic cells with a follicle cell-like phenotype.
Few escapers with eye-antennal disc chinmoM33 clones (in the Minute background) exhibit excess head cuticle, reduction of the eye field, partial or complete loss of antennal segments when compared to controls.
At 2 days post-clone induction (pci), chinmoM33 germline stem cell (GSC, Vasa staining) clones are in contact with the Hub (a group of somatic cells in testis) and cyst stem cell (CySC, Zfh1 or Tj staining) clones envelope germ line cells; at 7 days pci there are numerous GSC clones still in contact with the Hub while there are not any CySc clones but there are Tj+ somatic clones outside of the Hub when compared to control flip-out clones.
There appear to be far more projections of the pioneer α/β type in chinmoM33 mutant neuroblast clones, with qualitatively fewer γ type neurons.
