Embryos expressing wunScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 have reduced numbers of germ cells due to germ cell death.
Embryos expressing wunScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4twi.PG show a reduction in the number of primordial germ cells (PGCs) and defects in PGC migration.
Expression of wunScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS completely rescues the tracheal defects that are seen in embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic wun and wun2 function.
Very few animals which lack both maternal and zygotic wun and wun2 function (derived from females containing double mutant wun49 wun2EP2650ex34 germline clones mated to Df(2R)wun-GL/+ or Ab(2;?)wunCE/+ males) survive to adulthood. This lethality is only partially rescued by expression of wunScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS.
Carried in plasmid "Wun-GFP", transfected into S2 cells and used to study the catalytic activity of the protein produced.
