Additional Information
Statement
Reference

ScerGAL4pros.PMG drives expression in most, if not all, neuroblasts from embryonic stage 10 onwards.

(Monedero Cobeta et al., 2017)

Drives expression in neuroblasts and sensory organ precursor cells, and in embryonic/larval garland cells.

(FlyBase Curators, 2017)

ScerGAL4pros.PMG drives expression in garland cell nephrocytes from embryonic stage 16.

(Tutor et al., 2014)

The pupal expression is the same as that observed for native pros expression.

(Sen et al., 2004)

ScerGAL4pros.PMG is expressed in newly generated neurons of the larva but not in mature neurons.

(Kido and Ito, 2002)
