When neutral marked clones are induced in the ovary, the proportion of germaria carrying marked somatic stem cells 3 weeks after clone induction is around 40% of that seen one week after clone induction. However, for tkvQ199D.Scer\UAS Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI clones induced using this method, this increases to 65.6%. Also, while the number of germaria containing tkvQ199D.Scer\UAS Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI clones in somatic stem cells decreases over time after induction, the number of germaria carrying only marked somatic stem cells actually increases over time after induction from 0.59% after one week to 8.9% after 3 weeks.
When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4hs.PB in the somatic cells of the germarium, no germline tumor phenotype is observed. Egg chamber budding was affected, indicating a later effect on somatic cell function.
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/tkvQ199D.UAS is a suppressor of follicle stem cell | somatic clone phenotype of dsh3
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/tkvQ199D.UAS is a non-suppressor of follicle stem cell | somatic clone phenotype of smo3
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/tkvQ199D.UAS is a non-suppressor of follicle stem cell | somatic clone phenotype of smoD16
