short lived | male (with Df(3L)ED228)
Homozygous and mir-9aJ22/Df(3L)ED228 males show a significant decrease in median lifespan compared to controls.
Homozygous adults show significant defects in the hemolymph-brain barrier (as determined using a dye injection assay).
Homozygotes and mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 animals lack approximately 50% of the posterior wing margin in all individuals and approximately 10% of animals also show mild loss of anterior wing margin.
Abundant cell death is seen in the wing pouch region of the wing disc in mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 third instar larvae, in contrast to wild-type controls. Cell death is not seen in the pronotum region of the disc in the mutant larvae.
Homozygous and mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 adults show a mild increase in notum microchaete density compared to controls.
mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 adults often have ectopic dorsocentral and anterior postalar bristles.
mir-9aJ22 homozygous flies lack anterior and posterior wing margins.
Heterozygotes show normal wing development.
Homozygous mir-9aJ22 mutants exhibit posterior wing margin defects. No defects are seen in heterozygous mir-9aJ22 flies.
A mir-9aJ22/+ background enhances the wing margin defects seen when mir-9asponge.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL.
29% of mir-9aJ22 third instar larvae have an extra ddaE or ddaF neuron in one or two but not other hemisegments.
Mutant adults lack the posterior wing margin (100% penetrance), while the veins are normal in appearance. The anterior wing margin contains ectopic sensory bristles in about 40% of mutant flies.
14.3% of mutant flies have 3-4 scutellar bristles per heminotum (instead of the wild-type number of 2 per heminotum). These extra bristles have normal shaft and socket cells and are accompanied by a sensory neuron.
Mutant third instar wing discs have a high frequency of ectopic sensory organ precursors (SOPs) in the notum region.

One copy of sNPF-RMI00427 slightly suppresses the reduction in body length seen in mir-9aE39/mir-9aJ22 mutant flies.
Expression of thScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544 completely rescues the wing notching phenotype of mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 animals.
sensE2/+ results in an approximately 35% reduction in the loss of wing margin caused by mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39. sensE2/+ does not rescue the increased cell death seen in the wing discs of mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 animals.
BxhdpR26/+ fully rescues the adult wing margin defects of mir-9aJ22 homozygotes and mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 animals. BxhdpR26/+ strongly suppresses the ectopic apoptosis seen in the wing discs of mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 animals.
The presence of BxhdpR26/+ partially suppresses the formation of ectopic anterior postalar bristles seen in mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 adults, but has only mild effects on the formation of ectopic dorsocentral bristles seen in these flies.
sensE2/+ partially suppresses the formation of ectopic dorsocentral and anterior postalar bristles seen in mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 adults.
One copy of sensE58 substantially rescues the wing margin defects of mir-9aJ22 homozygotes; about 30% of the double mutant flies have wings that are indistinguishable from wild type, while others lack only a small part of the posterior margin. The bristles on the anterior wing margin resemble wild type in the double mutant flies.
Expression of BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544 completely rescues the wing notching phenotype of mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 animals.

Expression of mir-9aScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544 completely rescues the continuity of the wing margin in mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 animals. In the developing wing disc, the increased apoptosis seen in the wing pouch in mir-9aJ22/mir-9aE39 animals is rescued in the dorsal compartment by expression of mir-9aScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544.
