80% of flies expressing IA-2dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Kr.PU fail to eclose. Eyes and wings are present but the flies do not complete development. On removal from the pupal case, the flies are covered with a thin film-like layer rather than hard cuticle and almost no abdominal structures are seen.
IA-2RNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4Kr.PU has partially lethal - majority die | pupal stage phenotype, suppressible by Hex-CUAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4Kr.PU
Expression of Hex-CScer\UAS.cKa rescues the pupal stage lethality seen when IA-2dsRNA.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Kr.PU.
