Re-integration of DNA into the attP site present in wgKO. The reintegrated sequence is as follows: 1. 'Nrt-wg' (a membrane-tethered, Tag:HA-tagged form of wg in which Tag:M(Nrt) acts as the membrane tethering sequence), and 2: a loxP cassette containing a w+* marker. In addition, a recombined attP/B site is present 5' to the reintegrated sequence.
The wings of homozygous flies have a slightly smaller surface area than those of control siblings. The arrangement of the wing margin bristles appears normal. The patterning of the microchaetae and macrochaetae on the dorsal thorax is normal.
On average, wgl-17 clones induced in the wing disc in a wgKO;NRT-wg homozygous background are smaller than wgl-17 clones induced in the wing disc in a wild-type background.
When grown without overcrowding, homozygous flies are viable and have normally patterned appendages and other cuticular structures. When grown together with control siblings, homozygous flies show a reduced eclosion rate
Homozygous larvae show a developmental delay, entering pupariation later than controls.
