Expression of HCG.Scer\UAS in the eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU results in eyes that closely resemble wild-type with regard to eye size and architecture. There is little or no cone cell loss observed.
Expression of HScer\UAS.cMa in the larval eye disc (under the control of heat-shock induced Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP) does not result in cell death.
