Rescue of eggshell defects by trem of the DNA repair mutant spnBa.

atremF9 was also able to rescue the eggshell defect associated with okrAA/okrRU from 24% normal to 68% normal. However, we also found that the 3rd chromosome balancer, TM3, was able to rescue the eggshell defect of okrAA/okrRU from 24% normal to 76% normal. The reason for this is unknown. Although the TM3 balancer chromosome was able to rescue the eggshell defect; it did not rescue the sterility of the okr mutant.bTotal number of eggshells analyzed from the above genotypes. Collections were made after at least 5 days of egg laying.
