Overexpression of daΔex1.Scer\UAS in mutant eye clones (under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C) results in poor clone growth, with these clones being rarely found anterior to the morphogenetic furrow. Their recovery is enhanced in a M/+ background. These clones show some ectopic neuronal differentiation and can accelerate the progression of the furrow.
Ectopic expression of daΔex1.Scer\UAS anterior to the morphogenetic furrow, under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C leads to neuronal differentiation by 14% of the cells.
Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C, daΔex1.UAS has eye disc | somatic clone phenotype, enhanceable by Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C/atoUAS.cJa
Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C, daΔex1.UAS has eye disc anterior to the morphogenetic furrow | somatic clone phenotype, enhanceable by Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C/atoUAS.cJa
Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C, daΔex1.UAS has eye disc morphogenetic furrow | somatic clone phenotype, enhanceable by Scer\GAL4FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C/atoUAS.cJa
Approximately 81% of cells overexpressing both atoScer\UAS.cJa and daΔex1.Scer\UAS ahead of the morphogenetic furrow (under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\CD2.Act5C) differentiate into neurons.
