SmBR1-7K.UASp/Scer\GAL4Tub.PU partially rescues SmBSH0509/SmBBG02775
Expression of SmBR1-7K.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU rescues the lethality of SmBBG02775/SmBSH0509 with an efficiency of 28%. However, all the rescued flies are completely agametic. Although germ cells can migrate through the midgut epithelium in these embryos, they are unable to coalesce with the gonadal mesoderm.
