Expression of GSd468GSd468 under the control of Scer\GAL4109(2)80 results in reduced dendrite growth in the dendritic arborisation neurons of the dorsal peripheral nervous system cluster in stage 17 embryos.
Isolated RP2 neuron clones expressing GSd468GSd468 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP (clones generated using the Scer\FLP1eve.RN2 line) show a reduction in dendrite branching at 25-31 hours after egg laying.
Fas2-positive axon bundles in the ventral nerve cord are missing or disrupted and are seen to cross the midline in embryos expressing GSd468GSd468 under the control of Scer\GAL4scrt-11-6. In the periphery, the ISNb, ISNd, SNa and SNc motor neurons are missing or thinned.
