UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of flwGD15008 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU in clones in the eye-antennal disc results in mutant cells which are disorganised within the clone and which are mislocalised in the optic stalk.
Cells expressing flwGD15008 under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 along the anterior-posterior compartment boundary of the wing disc migrate away from the boundary into the wild-type posterior compartment. The migrating cells are located basally.
Adults expressing flwGD15008 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
