Females expressing Cf2s.hs using heat shocks produce eggs with either narrowed and fused dorsal appendages or no appendages at all. Embryos produced these females mated to wild-type males show cuticle patterning defects; expanded and fused ventral denticles.
Overexpression of P{CF2-s} causes moderate ventralisation of egg chambers; egg chambers become elongated in shape, dorsal appendages fuse and shrink and the number of main body follicle cells increases.
