The expression of groScer\UAS.P\T.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4109-30, in combination with gal80[ts] to restrict expression to adulthood, leads to a significant increase in the frequency of multilayered or elongated basal stalks, as compared to controls.
Maternal expression of groScer\UAS.P\T.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 results in 56% loss of the intermediate neuroblast column of the neuroectoderm in embryos.
Maternal expression of groScer\UAS.P\T.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 results in a low hatching rate and a range of segmental cuticular defects. in 34.2% of the dead larvae, a loss or reduction of terminal structures (such as the head and filzkorper) is also seen.
