Rescue fragment composed of genomic and cDNA sequences that contains Poxn upstream sequences and Poxn 5' leader, coding and 3' trailer sequences. Some Poxn intron sequences are also present.

Poxn^ΔSH partially rescues Poxn^ΔM22-B5

The defects in taste bristles on the labellum seen in Poxn^ΔM22-B5 flies are not rescued by Poxn^ΔSH, but the defects in taste bristles on the leg and anterior wing margin are partially rescued. The leg and antenna segmentation defects seen in Poxn^ΔM22-B5 flies are rescued by Poxn^ΔSH. The defects in the posterior lobe and penis seen in Poxn^ΔM22-B5 males are rescued by Poxn^ΔSH and male fertility is partially rescued. Poxn^ΔSH does not rescue the flying capability of Poxn^ΔM22-B5 flies. Poxn^ΔSH rescues the courting defects in daylight conditions of Poxn^ΔM22-B5 males and the rescued males show some courtship under red light conditions. The defects in taste bristles on the leg, labellum and anterior wing margin seen in Poxn^ΔM22-B5 flies are partially rescued if the flies are carrying both Poxn^C1 and Poxn^ΔSH. The leg and antenna segmentation defects seen in Poxn^ΔM22-B5 flies are rescued if the flies are carrying both Poxn^C1 and Poxn^ΔSH. The defects in the posterior lobe and penis seen in Poxn^ΔM22-B5 males are rescued if the flies are carrying both Poxn^C1 and Poxn^ΔSH and male fertility is also rescued. The flying capability of Poxn^ΔM22-B5 flies is not rescued if the flies are also carrying both Poxn^C1 and Poxn^ΔSH. The courting defects (in both daylight and red light conditions) of Poxn^ΔM22-B5 males are rescued if the flies are carrying both Poxn^C1 and Poxn^ΔSH.
