Expression of BHDScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG does not significantly affect the number of germline stem cells in the testis.
Scer\GAL4nanos.PG/BHDUAS.cSa is a suppressor | partially of spermatogonium | heat sensitive phenotype of Stat92EF/Stat92Ej6C8
Scer\GAL4nanos.PG/BHDUAS.cSa is a suppressor | partially of male germline stem cell | heat sensitive phenotype of Stat92EF/Stat92Ej6C8
Expression of BHDScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG significantly slows down the loss of germ cell phenotype that is seen in Stat92EF/Stat92Ej6C8 testes at 29[o]C. After 4 days at 29[o]C, 26% of the double mutant testes contain one or more germline stem cells and most of the testes retain spermatogonia. After 7 days at 29[o]C, 8% of the double mutant testes have one or more germline stem cells and 64% retain spermatogonia.
