Females expressing pavDEAD.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-m6 under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 are completely sterile and do not lay any eggs. Egg chambers rarely develop beyond stage 10 in these females. Egg chambers containing 32 cells are often seen in the ovaries of females expressing pavDEAD.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-m6 under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16. Defects in oocyte positioning are seen in early stage egg chambers.
