5' eve promoter sequences are deleted so the remaining 1.7kb of flanking promoter sequences is fused to lacZ.
5' sequences from eve, -1.7kb to the end of codon 22 in the protein coding region (including stripe 2 enhancer), fused to lacZ coding region.
construct_comment: One of a deletion series of lacZ reporter constructs used to characterized 5\' regulatory elements of eve.
