Reported nucleotide change refers to the cDNA. Difference thought to be responsible for mutant phenotype. Other differences thought to be polymorphic variants.
The heart develops normally in mutant embryos. Mutant embryos show a complete lack of myoblast fusion and all somatic muscles are mononucleated. Fusion also does not occur in the pharynx muscles. The somatic founder myoblasts appear to differentiate normally, elongating and attaching to the epidermis at the correct insertion sites. Fusion-competent myoblasts are not detected at any stage with Myosin staining. Syncytial visceral muscles are not formed in mutant embryos.
lmdA388 has embryonic myoblast phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4twi.PB/Mef2III.UAS
lmdA388 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4twi.PB/lmdUAS.cRa
