The phenotypes associated with the homozygous mutants is given in Table 1.
Invasive vs. noninvasive phenotypes are described and pictured in the text.
BCs leave prematurely at s8, or move prematurely at s9. Since BCs are determined at s8 and migrate between germ cells at s9, the designation of “Follicle cells invade” or “Follicle cells do not invade” is not meaningful.
Follicle cells accumulate at the poles and/or invade typically starting no earlier than s5.
Follicle cells accumulate at the poles and/or invade starting at least as early as s3, and for most allele combinations, the earliest time that a mutant phenotype was observed is s1.
Phenotypic analysis not possible because the mutant combinations are lethal at both 18°C and 25°C.
