Embryos maternally hypomorphic for Abi function and lacking zygotic Abi function (derived from AbiP1/Df(3R)JY19 females mated to AbiP2 carrying males) have deranged longitudinal connectives and commissural tracts. 57.1% of these embryos have midline crossing defects in ipsilateral axon fascicles at stage 17.
9.6% of AbiKO/AbiP2 embryos have midline crossing defects in ipsilateral axon fascicles at stage 17.
AbiP2/AbiKO has abnormal neuroanatomy | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Abl4/Abl[+]
Abi[+]/AbiP2 is a suppressor | partially of abnormal neuroanatomy | embryonic stage phenotype of Abl4/Abl1
AbiP2/AbiKO has larval longitudinal connective phenotype, suppressible | partially by Abl4/Abl[+]
Abi[+]/AbiP2 is a suppressor | partially of larval longitudinal connective phenotype of Abl4/Abl1
Precise excision of the insertion reverts the lethal phenotype.
