      Most extreme eggs are spindle shaped without dorsal appendages. Other eggs have fused dorsal appendages or of normal morphology but remain unfertilized.
      2% of eggs from homozygous mothers are fertilized and embryos lack abdominal segments and pole cells, i.e. show a classic posterior group mutant phenotype.
      Suppressor of repeat-induced silencing, as seen at heterochromatic tandem arrays of insertions of the P{lacW} transposon.
      aub[HN]/aub[QC42] eggs show fused dorsal appendages in 40% of cases, no appendages in 12% of cases and the wild-type number of appendages in 48% of cases.
      aub[QC42] flies show a disruption of the heterochromatic silencing of the P{T1} reporter in line P{T1}T190-177 and of the P{T1(-FRT)} reporter in line P{T1(-FRT)}T190-177.
      Perinuclear nuage appears smoother than normal in aub[HN]/aub[QC42] nurse cells, but nuage particles are unaffected.

      The fused dorsal appendage phenotype of aub[HN]/aub[QC42] eggs is suppressed in lok[p6]; aub[HN]/aub[QC42] eggs with 98% of double mutants showing wild-type appendage morphology. The mei-41[D3] mutation suppresses the fused dorsal appendage phenotype of aub[HN]/aub[QC42] eggs; 85% of mei-41[D3]; aub[HN]/aub[QC42] eggs show wild-type appendage morphology.
