medulla cortex & glial cell | somatic clone, with Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI
The brains of third instar larvae expressing gcmScer\UAS.cJa under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU exhibit an abnormal shape with a much longer ventral nerve cord compared to wild type brains.
Transient expression of gcmScer\UAS.cJa, under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB around stage 9, 10, or 11 represses crystal cell formation.
Expression of gcmScer\UAS.cJa under the control of Scer\GAL4lama-A8 results in unhealthy larvae. However, these larvae produce no additional glial cells at the expense of neurons within the lamina at the level of the R-cell projection filed or glial precursor cell areas.
Induction of clones in the eye disc which express gcmScer\UAS.cJa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI leads to disruption of the formation of R-cells in the eye and, thus, with optic lobe development. Although no excess glial cells are seen in the eye, these clones do induce ectopic glial cells within the medulla cortex.
Expression of gcmScer\UAS.cJa under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 in embryos results in an increase in the number of glial cells (as assessed by repo staining) which show glial cell morphologies.
Transformation of presumptive BD neuron into a glial cell, causing an increase repo expressing cells in the CNS (glial cells).
Expression of gcmScer\UAS.cJa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 partially rescues the hemocyte defects seen in Df(2L)200 embryos.
