Expression of shgdNc.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-rs under the control of either Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 or Scer\GAL4upd1.PU results in significantly decreased numbers of hub cells, germline stem cells and cyst stem cells in the testicular niche.
Scer\GAL4btl.PS/shgdNc.UAS.sgGFP fails to rescue Df(2R)E2/shg2
The addition of shgdNc.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-rs, driven by Scer\GAL4btl.PS, into shg2/Df(2R)E2 flies fails to rescue their tracheal fusion phenotype.
