Flies expressing β4GalT7dsRNA.cGa.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS have a weak rough eye phenotype, with disrupted ommatidial assembly, fused ommatidia and duplication and/or loss of interommatidial bristles.
100% of flies expressing β4GalT7dsRNA.cGa.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E show a reduction in size of the posterior compartment of the wing.
β4GalT7RNAi.UAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS has visible phenotype, enhanceable by β3GalTIIRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS
β4GalT7RNAi.UAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS is an enhancer of visible phenotype of β3GalTIIRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS
β4GalT7RNAi.UAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS has interommatidial bristle phenotype, enhanceable by β3GalTIIRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS
β4GalT7RNAi.UAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS is an enhancer of interommatidial bristle phenotype of β3GalTIIRNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS
Co-expression of both β3GalTIIdsRNA.Scer\UAS and β4GalT7dsRNA.cGa.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS results in an enhanced rough eye phenotype compared to either single construct expressed alone; the double mutant flies show an increased penetrance of the abnormal interommatidial bristle phenotype.
Used to study the phenotypic consequences of dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the β4GalT7 gene.
