Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Kdm4AKO mutants are viable and fertile and do not display any developmental timing defects. Kdm4AKO suppresses the variegated phenotype of the w or Sb locus in the In(1)wm4 or T(2;3)SbV background, respectively.

Statement
Reference

Only about 20% of Kdm4AKO,Kdm4BKO double mutants survive to adulthood, while Kdm4AKO;JHDM2KO double mutants are viable and fertile.

Combination with a single copy of Kdm4AKO does not modify the frequency of eye tissue to antenna-like malformed structures transformation in adult flies expressing TAF1BdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.200.Exel nor the massive eye overgrowth in flies expressing ykiS168A.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP,T:Ivir\HA1 with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF but it exacerbates the disrupted wing vein phenotype of flies expressing smo5A.Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG driven by Scer\GAL4C-765.
