Expression of Kap-α3Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4e22c at 25[o]C results in partial lethality. Surviving adult escapers show a defect in abdominal development; in 65% of flies, the adult hemitergites fail to properly fuse at the dorsal midline.
Expression of Kap-α3Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4e22c at 27.5[o]C results in almost complete lethality.
Scer\GAL4hs.PB/Kap-α3UAS.cMa is a suppressor of male sterile | recessive phenotype of PenD14
Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR/Kap-α3UAS.cMa is a non-suppressor of female sterile | recessive phenotype of PenD14
Expression of Kap-α3Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB using heat shock partially rescues the sterility of PenD14 males.
