Normal separation of primordial germ cells into lateral clusters on each side of the embryo is observed in abd-A46.51 mutants in the absence of the somatic gonadal precursors.
abd-A46.51/abd-A46.51 is a non-suppressor of germline cell | maternal effect phenotype of wun2EP2650ex34/Df(2R)wun-GL
The reduced number of germ cells seen in stage 15 embryos derived from wun2EP2650ex34/Df(2R)wun-GL females is not suppressed if the embryos are zygotically mutant for abd-A46.51.
