Expression of mir-9aScer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2.cSa in the insulin-producing cells under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR results in a reduction in the length of the anterior crossvein compared to controls. Body length, wing length and pupal volume are all reduced. Haemolymph glucose and trehalose levels are increased.
Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR, mir-9aUAS.cSa.DsRed2 has visible phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR/sNPF-RUAS.cSa
Expression of sNPF-RScer\UAS.cSa suppresses the reduced body and wing length phenotypes seen when mir-9aScer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2.cSa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR.
Expression of mir-9aScer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2.cSa in insulin-producing cells under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR reduces wing cell size and number.
Expression of sNPF-RScer\UAS.cSa suppresses the increase in wing cell size and number seen when mir-9aScer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2.cSa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR.
Expression of mir-9aScer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR rescues the reduction in body and wing length seen in mir-9aE39/mir-9aJ22 mutant flies.
