Embryos expressing btdUAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4GCN4.nos.bcd3'UTR display cephalic furrow initiation events of "type III+", in which three or more cells undergo shortening simultaneously, and an increase in the number of initiating cells per area unit.
The expression of btdScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc.PU, in combination with gal80[ts] to induce expression from third instar larval stage onwards, leads to defects in joint formation, as compared to controls.
Clones expressing btdScer\UAS.cSa, generated under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU using the MARCM system, show ectopic leg tissues in the wing. Both proximal and distal leg structures can be seen.
Expression of btdScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4btd-MD808 causes the Keilin's organs to develop more than the the wild-type number of three sensory hairs.
When btdScer\UAS.cSa is driven by Scer\GAL4ey.PH, the original eye disappears and is replaced by an ectopic antenna, which often fuses with the normal one. When btdScer\UAS.cSa is driven by Scer\GAL4nub-AC-62, wings and halteres differentiate leg tissue. The leg tissue in these flies is not arranged in segments but it is possible to recognise pattern elements distal markers such as claws are found as well as tarsal and tibia-like bristles. The amount of leg tissue produced in each of these appendages is greater than the corresponding individual legs. When btdScer\UAS.cSa is driven by Scer\GAL4MD743 or Scer\GAL4bi-omb-Gal4 sets of leg structures are seen in the wing disc derivatives. btdScer\UAS.cSa clones (driven by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP) in the haltere and wing differentiate leg tissue. These clones normally appear as either vesicles of tissue segregated from the wing and the haltere, or as protruding tissue. They tend to form leg patterns resembling normal ones, which include the formation of various leg segments. Moreover, these clones develop nearly complete leg patterns independently of the wing region where they localise.
Ectopic expression of btdScer\UAS.cSa driven by Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 causes development of mechanosensory stout bristles in ectopic places in the wing.
Scer\GAL4Tub.PU, btdUAS.cSa has homeotic | somatic clone phenotype, suppressible | partially by Dll17
Scer\GAL4Tub.PU, btdUAS.cSa has wing | somatic clone phenotype, suppressible | partially by Dll17
Scer\GAL4Tub.PU, btdUAS.cSa has leg | distal | ectopic | somatic clone phenotype, suppressible by Dll17
Scer\GAL4Tub.PU, btdUAS.cSa has leg | proximal | ectopic | somatic clone phenotype, non-suppressible by Dll17
DllUAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4btd-MD808, btdUAS.cSa has Keilin organ | ectopic phenotype
A Dll17 mutant background partially suppresses the ectopic leg tissue phenotype seen when btdScer\UAS.cSa clones are generated under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU using the MARCM system. These clones cannot generate distal leg fates, but are able to produce what appears to be proximal leg tissue.
Coexpression of btdScer\UAS.cSa and DllScer\UAS.cGa, under the control of Scer\GAL4btd-MD808, cause ectopic formation of Keilin's organs in otherwise normal abdominal segments. These ectopic organs have more than the wild-type number of three sensory hairs.
Scer\GAL4Tub.PU/btdUAS.cSa fails to rescue Df(1)btd-Sp1
Scer\GAL4Dll-em212/btdUAS.cSa fails to rescue Df(1)btd-Sp1
Expression of btdScer\UAS.cSa (using the MARCM system under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU) fails to rescue the growth defects seen in Df(1)btd-Sp1 leg disc clones generated in second instar larvae.
Expression of btdScer\UAS.cSa fails to rescue the growth defects seen in Df(1)btd-Sp1 mutant leg clones generated in a minute background during embryogenesis using Scer\FLP1Scer\UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4Dll-em212.
