Flies expressing sdScer\UAS.cVa under the control of Scer\GAL4vg.int2.1 in an otherwise wild-type background show wing defects; 40% have a "mild" phenotype (wings are significantly reduced, few veins and crossveins are still distinguishable), 47.5% have a "severe" phenotype (wing blade growth is severely impaired) and 12.5% have an "extreme" phenotype (thorax flight appendages are completely missing and no hinge structures are present).
The severity of wing defects caused by expression of sdScer\UAS.cVa under the control of Scer\GAL4vg.int2.1 is suppressed by sd58/+; in the double mutant flies 61% have a "mild" phenotype (wings are significantly reduced, few veins and crossveins are still distinguishable), 34% have a "severe" phenotype (wing blade growth is severely impaired) and 5% have an "extreme" phenotype (thorax flight appendages are completely missing and no hinge structures are present).
The shape of the wing disc is distorted in animals expressing sdScer\UAS.cVa under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1. The size and shape of the wing disc is abnormal in animals expressing sdScer\UAS.cVa under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1. Ectopic wing outgrowth from wing derived tissue is seen in approximately 10% of cases. The wing disc has a smaller notal region than wild-type in animals expressing sdScer\UAS.cVa under the control of Scer\GAL4vg.int2.1. Adults derived from these animals have wing blade defects but the notum is not affected.

The severity of wing defects caused by expression of sdScer\UAS.cVa under the control of Scer\GAL4vg.int2.1 is enhanced by vgnull/+; in the double mutant flies 93% have an "extreme" phenotype (thorax flight appendages are completely missing and no hinge structures are present) and 7% have a "severe" phenotype (wing blade growth is severely impaired).
