mei-W684572 females show frequent meiotic chromosome segregation errors, as assessed by X-chromosome non-disjunction.
The number of meiotically-induced double stranded breaks in homozygous mei-W684572 mutant females is reduced compared to wild type.
Homozygous females show a low frequency (24.0%) of region 3 cysts with two pro-oocytes (as assayed by c(3)G staining).
Meiotic recombination is eliminated in mutants.
c(2)MEP2115, mei-W684572 has abnormal meiotic cell cycle phenotype
mei-W684572 is a suppressor of karyosome | heat sensitive phenotype of tefuatm-8
mei-W684572 is a non-suppressor of presumptive oocyte phenotype of hdmg7
The karyosome morphology defects found in female tefuatm-8 mutants at the restrictive temperature of 25[o]C are suppressed in a mei-W684572 mutant background.
All γ-His2Av staining is eliminated in mei-W684572; tefuatm-8 double mutants, indicating that the abundant γ-His2Av staining in the tefuatm-8 mutant is dependent on the induction of meiotic double strand breaks.
The high frequency of region 3 cysts containing two pro-oocytes that is seen in hdmg7 homozygous females is not suppressed by mei-W684572.
c(2)MEP2115, mei-W684572 double mutant mothers show a decrease in crossovers in most chromosomal regions, though not in the st-cu region.
