Expression of rprUAS.Tag:Mito(hid) under the control of Scer\GAL4NP5130 causes an increase in apoptosis among Esg-positive progenitors in the adult posterior midgut (TUNEL assay).
Expression of rprScer\UAS.T:mito1 in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is late pupal lethal at 21[o]C. When dissected from the pupal cases, rprScer\UAS.T:mito1 eyes are reduced to a black spot.
