adult age in days [FBdv_00007014]

Temporal subdivision of adulthood in days post-eclosion.

adult stage [FBdv_00005369]

The stage of the Drosophila life-cycle from eclosion to death. Temporal ordering number - 770.

adult stage A1 [FBdv_00005370]

Newly eclosed adult stage. Animal free of pupal case. Runs rapidly to find site for wing expansion. Wings are folded back and black against a very pale abdomen. Temporal ordering number - 785. The time at which eclosed flies settle down for wing expansion can vary greatly. If they fail to find a suitable site then expansion can be delayed by several hours.

adult stage A2 [FBdv_00005371]

Stage, shortly after eclosion, during which the wings expand. During wing expansion, the abdomen pulsates and the hind legs stroke the wings vigorously for several minutes at a time. The stage ends when the wings are folded down over the abdomen, which has become broader and shorter, and the wing cuticle has lost its folds. The stage lasts around 15 minutes at 25’C. Temporal ordering number - 790.

adult stage A3 [FBdv_00006012]

Adult stage immediately after wing expansion, during which tanning of the cuticle is completed. This stage lasts approximately 45 minutes at 25’C. Temporal ordering number - 800.

egg stage [FBdv_00005286]

The stage of the Drosophila life-cycle from maturation of an egg to the end of fertilization. At the beginning of this stage, the nucleus is arrested in meiotic metaphase I.

embryonic cycle [FBdv_00007011]

A cycle of nuclear division during the embryogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster. The first 13 cycles are synchronous throughout the embryo and occur their timing relative to other developmental processes is invariant. Later nuclear division cycles are asynchronous across the embryo although may be more locally synchronized.

embryonic cycle 1 [FBdv_00005292]

The first mitotic cell cycle of embryogenesis. This occurs synchronously across the embryo. Temporal ordering number - 50.

embryonic cycle 10 [FBdv_00005303]

The tenth mitotic cell cycle of embryogenesis. This occurs synchronously across the embryo. Temporal ordering number - 180.

embryonic cycle 11 [FBdv_00005307]

The 11th mitotic cell cycle of embryogenesis. This occurs synchronously across the embryo. Temporal ordering number - 185.

embryonic cycle 12 [FBdv_00005308]

The 12th mitotic cell cycle of embryogenesis. This occurs synchronously across the embryo. Temporal ordering number - 190.

embryonic cycle 13 [FBdv_00005309]

The 13th mitotic cell cycle of embryogenesis. This occurs synchronously across the embryo. Temporal ordering number - 200.

embryonic cycle 14 [FBdv_00005312]

The 14th mitotic cell cycle of embryogenesis. This is the first round of nuclear division to occur in a cellularized embryo, so this is the first round of cell division. Embryonic cycle 14 mitosis is asynchronous across the embryo, but occurs synchronously within discrete domains, known as mitotic domains. Temporal ordering number - 255. The asynchronous nature of cycle 14 divisions means that this is not very useful for annotating stage. If possible a standard embryonic stage should be used instead.

embryonic cycle 14A [FBdv_00005313]

The interphase of embryonic cycle 14. This begins at the same time as cellularization and is of variable length depending on cell identity: embryonic cycle 14 M phase (14B) is asynchronous across the embryo, but occurs synchronously within discrete domains, known as mitotic domains. Temporal ordering number - 256.

embryonic cycle 14B [FBdv_00005314]

The M-phase of embryonic cycle 14. This is asynchronous across the embryo, but occurs synchronously within discrete domains, known as mitotic domains. Temporal ordering number - 257. Not to be confused with mitotic domain 14B, which is a domain of cells in the dorsal midline of the head that don’t undergo a 14th division (Foe, 1989). The asynchronous nature of cycle 14 divisions means that this is not very useful for annotating stage. If possible a standard embryonic stage should be used instead.

embryonic cycle 15 [FBdv_00005315]

The 15th cell cycle of embryogenesis. Asynchronous. Temporal ordering number - 285. The asynchronous nature of cycle 15 divisions means that this is not very useful for annotating stage. If possible a standard embryonic stage should be used instead.

embryonic cycle 16 [FBdv_00005316]

The 16th cell cycle division of embryogenesis. Asynchronous. Temporal ordering number - 295. The asynchronous nature of cycle 16 divisions means that this is not very useful for annotating stage. If possible a standard embryonic stage should be used instead.

embryonic cycle 2 [FBdv_00005294]

The second mitotic cell cycle of embryogenesis. This occurs synchronously across the embryo. Temporal ordering number - 60.

embryonic cycle 3 [FBdv_00005295]

The third mitotic cell cycle of embryogenesis. This occurs synchronously across the embryo. Temporal ordering number - 80.

Duration at 25 degrees C: approximately 120 minutes (440-560 minutes after egg laying). Temporal ordering number - 320.

embryonic stage 13 [FBdv_00005328]

This stage ends when head involution begins. Duration at 25 degrees C: Approximately 60 minutes (560-620 minutes after egg laying). Temporal ordering number - 340.

embryonic stage 14 [FBdv_00005330]

Stage 14 begins with the initiation of head involution. Closure of the midgut around the yolk and dorsal closure continue. Dorsal closure is 80% complete by the end of this stage. This stage ends with the appearance of the second midgut constriction. Duration at 25 degrees C: approximately 60 minutes (620-680 minutes after egg laying). Temporal ordering number - 350.

During this stage the ventral cord retracts to about 60% egg length. Duration at 25 degrees C: approximately 180 minutes (780-960 minutes after egg laying). Temporal ordering number - 380.

embryonic stage 17 [FBdv_00005335]

Stage 17 begins when the dorsal ridge (frontal sac) has overgrown the tip of the clypeolabrum, which is thereby enclosed in the atrium. It lasts until hatching of the embryo (approximately 24 hours after egg laying), during which time much terminal differentiation occurs, the tracheal tree fills with air, so becoming completely visible, and the ventral cord continues to retract. Duration at 25 degrees C: approximately 8 hours (16-24 hours after egg laying). Temporal ordering number - 390.

embryonic stage 6 [FBdv_00005318]

Stage 6 begins when the ventral furrow becomes apparent, an event which is followed rapidly by the formation of the cephalic furrow. Stage 6 ends when the pole cells have adopted a dorsal (horizontal) position at the posterior. Duration at 25 degrees C: approximately 10 minutes (170-180 minutes after egg laying). Temporal ordering number - 230.

embryonic stage 7 [FBdv_00005319]

Stage 7 begins when the pole cells have adopted a dorsal (horizontal) position at the posterior. Invagination of the anterior and posterior midgut and hindgut follows. The ‘discoid plate’ that carries the pole cells forms a pocket. Transverse furrows (dorsal folds) form on the dorsal surface. This stage ends when the anterior wall of the amnioproctodeal invagination starts moving anteriorly and the pole cells are no longer visible externally. Duration at 25 degrees C: approximately 10 minutes (180-190 minutes after egg laying). Temporal ordering number - 240.

embryonic stage 8 [FBdv_00005322]

Stage 8 starts with the rapid phase of germ band extension and ends with the beginning of mesodermal segmentation.

P-stage [FBdv_00007001]

The stage of the Drosophila life-cycle from the formation of the puparium (beginning of the prepupal stage) to eclosion. Temporal ordering number - 490. DISAMBIGUATION: In Drosophila lab vernacular, the term ‘pupal stage’ is often used to refer to the entire period from formation of the puparium to eclosion. However, this does not correspond to the standard usage of ‘pupal stage’ for cyclorrhaphous flies (for discussion see: FBrf0087128). Briefly: formation of the puparium (hardening of the larval cuticle) marks the beginning of the pre-pupal stage. The pupal stage begins following pupal/larval apolysis - detachment of the larval epidermis from the puparium. In Drosophila, the outward sign of the completion of apolysis is the eversion of the head an expulsion of the larval mouthparts (FBrf0036849). We use P-stage to refer to the stage from pupariation to eclosion, and restrict pupal stage to its standard usage.
