Construct: Nucleotide substitutions in stem-loop III of the nos TCE sequences, that are predicted to disrupt base pairing.
100% of embryos derived from nosBN females that are also carrying nosTCE.IIIU have anterior defects.
nanosTCE.IIIU rescues nanosBN
nosTCE.IIIU rescues the abdominal segmentation defect of embryos derived from nosBN females; 100% of embryos have 7-8 abdominal segments.
