Expression of lftNIG.13139R under the control of Scer\GAL4Act results in flies with slightly shorter wings than normal. The reduced length of the wing is most obvious in the middle of the wing, where the distance between the anterior and the posterior crossveins is decreased.
Expression of lftNIG.13139R under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E results in a modest, but statistically significant, increase in the relative size of the posterior compartment of the wing disc (where Scer\GAL4en-e16E is expressed) to 87% of anterior compartment size (in control wing discs, the posterior compartment is 80% of the size of the anterior compartment).
Co-expression of lftNIG.13139R enhances the overgrowth of the the posterior compartment of the wing disc that is seen in animals expressing dsGD14350 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E, such that the posterior compartment is 178% of anterior compartment size (in control wing discs, the posterior compartment is 80% of the size of the anterior compartment).
