cell & wing blade, with Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4
Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-driven expression of Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS in the posterior compartment of the larval wing imaginal disc engenders a smaller than normal wing size, without noticeable effects on wing patterning or cell differentiation.
Wing cells expressing Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4, are on average 24% smaller than wild-type cells. The reduction in cell size accounts for the smaller posterior compartment size in Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-driven Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS-expressing wings.
The fraction of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle is higher in cells expressing Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-driven Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS compared to wild-type cells. However, the frequency of mitotic cells is not significantly modified in Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS-expressing third instar larval wing imaginal discs (under the control of Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4). The final number of cells appears normal and cell death is not induced as a result of Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-driven Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS expression.
Third instar wing imaginal disc cells expressing Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-driven Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS possess clonal growth advantage compared to surrounding cells expressing higher levels of Axud1.

The cell size reduction resulting from the Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-driven expression of Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS is increased to 31% in wings co-expressing Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa.
The wing size reduction resulting from the Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-driven expression of Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS is enhanced by the co-expression of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa.
The wing size reduction resulting from the Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4-driven expression of Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS is not affected by the co-expression of NcC318G.Scer\UAS.
Scer\GAL4salm-EPv-driven co-expression of Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS with Axud1C676 rescues the wing phenotypes associated with the ectopic expression of Axud1C676.
Expression of Axud1dsRNA.Scer\UAS produces dsRNA which results in dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the Axud1 gene.
