Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

foi20.71 embryos show defective gonad compaction and a failure to ensheath the germ cells.

In foi20.71/foi16.33 mutant embryos gonadal mesoderm and germ cells, but the compaction of gonadal mesoderm is blocked. In addition the gonadal mesoderm cells in these embryos fail to make cellular extensions between and around the germ cells (ensheathment).

Mutant embryos show defects in lateral trunk (LT) tracheal branch fusion. This phenotype is highly penetrant; 94% of mutant hemi-embryos have at least one LT fusion defect and 77% have two or more, while the expressivity is incomplete; an average of 3.3 out of 9 LT branches are affected. Thin cellular extensions are sometimes seen between fusion tip cells of failed fusions. Rather than fusing and forming a lumen with the appropriate partners, the defective branches appear to remain independent, but are still capable of extending ganglionic branches ventrally, which is the appropriate behaviour for the properly fused LT branch.

foi[+]/foi20.71 is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Ppt1UAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF

Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

A foi20.71/+ background enhances the visual system degeneration seen in Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Ppt1Scer\UAS.cKa flies.

Expression of shgαTub84B.PP fully rescues the gonadal phenotype of foi20.71 mutants in 22% of cases.

The gonadal mesoderm fails to coalesce in foi20.71 oskCE4/foi16.33 embryos that are derived from osk mutant (foi20.71 oskCE4/osk8) females.

Comments

Expression of the foi704.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 transgene, under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PB, rescues the defective gonad compaction and ensheathment phenotype of foi20.71 mutants.

Expression of the foiY646A.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 transgene, under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PB, rescues the defective gonad compaction phenotype of foi20.71 mutants. However, this transgene does not rescue the germ cell ensheathment phenotype displayed by foi20.71 mutants.

The gonad coalescence defects seen in foi20.71 mutant embryos are rescued by expression of foiScer\UAS.cVDa under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG, but are not rescued by expression of foiScer\UAS.cVDa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16. The tracheal branch fusion defects seen in foi20.71 mutant embryos are rescued by expression of foiScer\UAS.cVDa under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG or Scer\GAL4btl.PS.
