Expression of eggdsRNA.hp.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C results in a number of defects; larvae are more sluggish in their feeding and wandering behaviour than normal, animals often fail to eclose from the pupal case, and newly eclosed adults often fail to complete wing expansion. Surviving adult males and females have shorter lifespans than normal, often dying within 2 days of eclosion. Males show a significantly lower survival to adulthood than females.
Expression of eggdsRNA.hp.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG decreased egg production.
Expression of eggdsRNA.hp.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in suppression of w variegation of the "118E-28" line (which contains the P{hsp26-pt-T}118E-28a and P{hsp26-pt-T}118E-28b insertions).
Expression of eggdsRNA.hp.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in suppression of w variegation of the P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-12, P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-2, P{hsp26-pt-T}118E-10 and P{hsp26-pt-T}118E-25-5 insertions.
Expression of eggdsRNA.hp.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG has no effect on the degree of w variegation of the P{hsp26-pt-T}118E-10 and P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-12 insertions.
Expression of eggdsRNA.hp.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.200.Exel results in suppression of w variegation of the P{hsp26-pt-T}118E-10 and P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-12 insertions.
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU, eggRNAi.UAS.cBa has lethal phenotype, enhanceable by G9aRNAi.UAS.cBa, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU, eggRNAi.UAS.cBa has lethal phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU
The degree of lethality of females expressing eggdsRNA.hp.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C is decreased if they are also carrying Su(var)3-96.
