Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Embryos derived from swaTN62/Df(1)JF5 females mated to wild-type males often show cuticle defects, ranging from embryos without cuticle and lacking any sign of development (38%), through embryos with a reduction in the number of abdominal segments to embryos that have 8 abdominal segments, with normal or nearly normal abdominal morphology. The most commonly represented cuticular class is embryos that have 4-6 abdominal segments, with the arrangement of segments usually abberant, with segments often fused (40%).
swaTN62/swa[+] is a non-suppressor of female sterile | semidominant phenotype of αTub67C3
swaTN62/swa[+] is a non-suppressor of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle | maternal effect phenotype of αTub67C3
Approximately 36.1% of embryos derived from swaTN62/+;αTub67C3/+ females hatch to apparently normal embryos, compared to approximately 44.8% of embryos derived from αTub67C3/+ females. Approximately 48.0% of embryos derived from swaTN62/+;67C3/+ females arrest development before cuticle formation, compared to approximately 37.2% of embryos derived from αTub67C3/+ females. Approximately 15.8% of embryos derived from female swaTN62/+;αTub67C3/+ flies arrest development after cuticle formation but before hatching, compared to approximately 18% in embryos derived from αTub67C3/+ females.
