Expression of Inx2NIG.4590R under the control of Scer\GAL4tj.PU (along with expression of UAS-Dcr2 to increase RNAi efficiency) results in semi-sterility.
Expression of Inx2NIG.4590R under the control of Scer\GAL4C587 results in ovaries arresting in early oogenesis. The germaria in these females appear to contain only early germ cells with single spectrosomes. The number of germ cells is reduced.
