An activated form of N is expressed under the control of a heat shock promoter.
sensory mother cell & dorsal mesothoracic disc
Heat shock during the third larval instar or early pupal stages causes rough eyes with fused/missing ommatidia, bristle irregularities, and other disruptions indicative of cell death. Heat pulses in the middle to late third instar larvae also result in extra macrochaetae. Wings show thickened veins.
