Expression of phlF20.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4amn-c651 reduces pupal body size. This genotype has no effect on prothoracic gland cell size.

When phlF20.Scer\UAS is driven by Scer\GAL4hs.PB and heatshocked for 30 minutes at 37oC, large territories of trichomes are transformed into bracts; in legs, the proximal femur to the claw, all trichomes are transformed into bracts. In the notum, the region between the dorsocentral bristles also differentiate multiple bracts. In wings, only the cells of the dorsal and ventral proximal costa differentiate as bracts; the rest of the wing cells are not affected, apart from a small area in the dorsal hinge that also that also differentiates a patch of bracts. In the halteres multiple bracts cover the dorsal and ventral anterior pedicelem. The prothorax also differentiates a small patch of bracts. In the head bracts are found at the base of the arista, and in the gena and the supraorbital region. The size and shape of bracts was constant in different parts of the fly. When phlF20.Scer\UAS, Scer\GAL4hs.PB flies are heatshock induced at 8 hours APF differentiate a large number of bracts, with almost all the trichomes from the above-defined competent areas transformed. Heat sock at later stages yield a reduced density of bracts, and earlier heat shock produces a pattern of regions of normal trichomes surrounding patches of bracts are mainly areas among bristles.

Expression of phlF20.Scer\UAS (driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF) leads to the recruitment of supernumerary R7 photoreceptor cells. When driven by Scer\GAL4604, flies also have reduced viability, and wing phenotypes when raised at 25oC. The central region of wing vein L3 is deleted, there is a partial loss of vein L5 and an overall reduction in wing size.

Flies expressing phlF20.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4604 have reduced viability and show wing phenotypes; they have ectopic veins and sensilla and a loss of endogenous veins. The wing may also be reduced in size.

Reference

When animals containing Poxnhs.sev and phlF20.Scer\UAS (driven by Scer\GAL4hs.PB) and heatshocked, an additive phenotype is seen, mechanosensory bristles are transformed into chemosensory bristles and all epidermal cells are transformed into bracts. A similar effect is seen by the combination of Poxnhs.sev and Poxnhs.sev (driven by Scer\GAL4hs.PB).

The addition of SelDk11320/+ to phlF20.Scer\UAS, Scer\GAL4604 flies leads to almost wild-type vein pattern, although wing size is still reduced.
