At the permissive temperature, egg chambers from Stat92EF/Stat92EEP3391 females show normal migration of the border cells. After 4-6 hours at the non-permissive temperature, approximately 40% of stage 10 border cells show incomplete border cell migration in these females.
In Stat92EEP3391/Stat92E397 egg chambers, border cell migration is reduced but border cell number is not affected. Stat92EEP3391/Stat92EF egg chambers also show a reduction in border cell migration after 5 hours at 29oC.
A Stat92EEP3391 heterozygous background suppresses the ectopic invasive cell phenotype and the border-cell migration defects found in mir-279S096207, mir-279Δ1.2, and mir-279Δ1.9 mutant clones.
