Construct: Fusion of a heat shock promoter to Dana\B-H1 genomic fragment.
The morphogenetic furrow does not form in the eye imaginal discs of larvae in which Dana\B-H1hs.PT is expressed using heat shock.
Cell death is induced in a stripe of cells running parallel and anterior to the morphogenetic furrow.
Heat shocked flies demonstrated a Dana\B-H1-like eye phenotype.
Assayed in D.melanogaster.
