Most embryos derived from females expressing aretScer\UAS.P\T.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 lack most or all abdominal segments. Dorsoventral polarity is not substantially altered in these embryos.
The bicaudal phenotype of embryos derived from females expressing oskScer\UAS.P\T.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 is not altered by co-expression of aretScer\UAS.P\T.cSa.
