Legacy_information[Schnabel H, Kemphues K] it39 maternal effect lethal. Some (71%) viable embryos after mating. b312 possibly stronger allele (19% viable embryos after mating). NA14 (it27 (pka mel-6)).
[C.elegansII] it39 : maternal effect embryonic lethal,71% zygotic rescue by mating with males.OA>15: b312 (stronger allele, only 19% rescue),it3, it27 (pka mel-6), t1120, t1152 etc. Highly mutable gene. [Kemphues et al. 1988, GE]
