Insertion of Ecol\lacZ enhancer trap element into wg.
When wgl-12.Scer\UAS is driven by Scer\GAL4h-1J3, the overall size and diversity of denticles are partially restored in pair rule "mirrors" to wgen11 mutants. However naked cuticle is not recovered. When wgl-12.Scer\UAS is driven by Scer\GAL4prd.RG1, aspects of all the segmental pattern defects of wgen11 are recovered: size, denticle diversity and naked cuticle. These cuticles have four denticle bands, each much wider than the wild type bands, but each containing all denticle types, in roughly correct order.
Dominantly enhances the weak phenotype of dsh4/Y flies carrying one copy of dshw, increasing the proportion of these flies that have defects in adult structures. sgl08310 homozygotes that are fully rescued by a single copy of sglUbi-p63E.PH die as second instar larvae if they are also heterozygous for wgen11.

P{en1} is inserted into wg on a CyO balancer chromosome.
