The expression of groDD.Scer\UAS.P\T 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 groDD.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 results in 51% loss of the intermediate neuroblast column of the neuroectoderm in embryos.
Maternal expression of groDD.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 results in early lethality. Most of the dead larvae show a fully extended filzkorper, with only 11.% showing defects in the terminal structures.
