Expressing TaoKK108458 under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in a significant volume increase of the ventral nerve cord at third instar larval stage.

Expression of TaoKK108458 under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544 causes massive overgrowth of third instar wing imaginal discs compared to wild type.

In adult wings from animals expressing TaoKK108458 under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1, extra folds and vein material are present. The area between veins three and fours shows a statistically significant increased in size compared to wild type wings.

Expression of TaoKK108458 in the dorsal compartment of the eye using Scer\GAL4mirr-DE results in an increase in the size of the eye imaginal discs. The dorsal compartment is grossly overgrown relative to both the ventral compartment and to wild type controls.

An increased number of interommatidial cells is seen in pupal eyes when TaoKK108458 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF. Unlike in wild type, the third instar larval eye disc cells continue to divide posterior to the second mitotic wave.

Expression of TaoKK108458 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF gives rise to slightly larger eyes, particularly in the posterior region of the eye.

Expression of TaoKK108458 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF causes an increase in the number of interommatidial cells in eyes dissected 44 hours after puparium formation.

Expression of TaoKK108458 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF in eye disc clones (using the eyFLP method) results in flies that have large heads compared to controls. Extra head cuticle is obvious between the eyes and the eyes themselves are convoluted.

Expression of TaoKK108458 enhances the increase in inter-ommatidial cell number seen when ykiS168A.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

Expression of TaoKK108458 has no effect on the reduction in eye size seen when wtsScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

Expression of TaoKK108458 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF almost completely suppresses the reduced eye size seen when hpoGMR.PW is expressed.
