The expression of mavUAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR10C11 affects the embryonic morphology as a whole, induces an apparent overgrowth of the stomatogastric nervous system and changes to gut orientation; the proventricular ganglion and the proventriculus are displaced to the anterior end of the embryo, projections from the esophageal ganglia cells show increased projections and innervation into the esophagus.
Expression of mavScer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82 results in a significant increase in the number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of muscle 4 in third instar larvae, while the number of boutons at the NMJ of muscles 6/7 is not significantly different from wild type. The number of satellite boutons at the NMJ of both muscle 4 and muscles 6/7 is significantly increased compared to wild type in these larvae.
