Homozygous females produce few eggs, all of which show dorsal appendage defects. Only 4.3% of embryos from qine03728/Df(3R)Exel6180 females have wild-type dorsal appendages.
Df(3R)Exel6180/qine03728 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR/qinUASp.Tag:FLAG,Tag:MYC
Df(3R)Exel6180/qine03728 is partially rescued by qinCH321-88L14.EGFP
Df(3R)Exel6180/qine03728 is not rescued by qintCH322-81J04
Expression of qinScer\UAS.P\T.T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 partially rescues the female sterility, dorsal appendage defects and transposon silencing defects seen in qine03728/Df(3R)Exel6180 females.
qinCH321-88L14.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP partially rescues the dorsal appendage defects, low egg hatch rate and low number of eggs laid per day of qine03728/Df(3R)Exel6180 females.
