pcxUAS.EGFP/Scer\GAL4arm.PS partially rescues pcx3
Expression of pcxScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4arm.PS rescues the neurogenic phenotype seen in pcx3 embryos which lack maternal and zygotic pcx function (73% of embryos are rescued). The endoplasmic reticulum defects are also rescued.
In pcx3 embryos which lack maternal and zygotic pcx function, clones of cells expressing pcxScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PT do not assume a neural fate, while the surrounding cells become neurons.
