Larval fat body clones expressing x16UAS.GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU show a reduced induction of autophagosomes (identified as mCherry-Atg8 puncta) in response to starvation.
Expression of x16Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF leads to a reduced eclosion rate and low proportion of males as compared to controls; survivors exhibit altered eye pigmentation and ommatidial structure defects.
