Df(3L)79a embryos carrying rheaΔhead.T:Avic\GFP show complete muscle detachment (quantified as greater than 40% shortening of the dorsal muscles). Germband retraction is not affected in the mutant embryos.
rheaΔhead.GFP, Df(3L)79a/Df(3L)79a is a suppressor | partially of follicle cell | somatic clone phenotype of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU, VincCO.UASp.TagRFP
The expression of rheaΔhead.T:Avic\GFP in Df(3L)79a homozygous follicle cell clones leads to a strong reduction in the number of ectopic VincCO.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Equa\eqFP578-TagRFP-positive cytoplasmic protein aggregates observed upon Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU-driven expression in those clones.
More than 25% of Df(3L)79a, rheaΔhead.T:Avic\GFP Df(1)Vinc2 double mutant embryos fail to undergo germband retraction, a stronger phenotype than seen in Df(3L)79a, rheaΔhead.T:Avic\GFP single mutant embryos.
