The size distribution of regenerated adult wings in flies expressing Nox^HMS00691 under the control of Scer\GAL4^rn-GAL4-5 that were subjected to ablation of imaginal wing disc tissue during the larval stage, is significantly shifted towards bigger wing size compared to similarly treated controls. The regeneration appears to proceed at pace comparable to that observed in the wild-type controls (as judged by gradual increase in size of the regenerating wing pouch and rate of proliferation), also the delay in entry into pupariation is similar between the knock-down and the control regenerating larvae. Without any tissue damage the timing of pupariation in Nox^HMS00691-expressing animals is not significantly different from the wild-type.
