Expression of GliDD.Scer\UAS in the wing imaginal disc under the control of Scer\GAL4ap-md544 does not result in any cell delamination or migration phenotypes. A significant increase in the number of dividing cells is observed in the dorsal compartment of the wing disc, and ectopic folds in the wing disc are seen. No cell death is observed in these wing discs.
Expression of GliDD.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 fully rescues the embryonic lethality of GliAE2Δ45 mutants. Rescued embryos develop into larvae, but the majority of these become paralysed and die. Adult escapers exhibit malformed legs and fail to inflate their wings.
