When wtsMGH1 clones are made in the developing eye, an increased number of interommatidial cells are seen.
wtsMGH1 allows recovery of Df(1)su(s)R194/+ clones in the adult eye in animals with mosaic eyes containing two genotypes of cells with respect to RpL36; cells which are Df(1)su(s)R194/+ and cells in which the haplo-insufficiency of Df(1)su(s)R194/+ for RpL36 has been rescued by RpL36+t4 (in a wild-type background the Df(1)su(s)R194/+ clones are eliminated by cell competition and are not seen in the adult eye in these animals). wtsMGH13 Df(1)su(s)R194/+ cells are present in the wing disc 72 hours after induction and show significantly reduced numbers of dying cells compared to Df(1)su(s)R194/+ clones.
