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