eye, with Scer\GAL4ey.PU
Expression of foxoScer\UAS.cKc under the control of Scer\GAL4phm.PO results in a 10 hour delay in the 'critical weight' ecdysone peak compared to controls in response to starvation. Body size is increased when critical weight takes place.
Expression of foxoScer\UAS.cKc under the control of Scer\GAL4phm.PO in starved larvae results in pharate adults with a increased body size compared to controls.
Expression of foxoScer\UAS.cKc under the control of Scer\GAL4C-765 and Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 in the wing, and Scer\GAL4ey.PU and Scer\GAL4GMR.PU in the eye results in reduced organ size compared to controls.
When foxoScer\UAS.cKc is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4phm.PO in foxoΔ94/Df(3R)Exel8159 background most larvae do not survive to the third instar larval stage.
Expression of foxoScer\UAS.cKc in a foxoΔ94/Df(3R)Exel8159 mutant background in the oenocytes under the control of Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB, or in the corpora allata under the control of Scer\GAL4Aug21 does not affect the duration of the third instar larval stage (L3) or final body size in starved larvae. Expression in the ring gland, oenocytes and the corpora allata under the control of Scer\GAL4P0206 delays metamorphosis and increases body size at the 'critical weight' ecdysone peak compared to parental controls. Feeding ecdysone to Scer\GAL4P0206>foxoScer\UAS.cKc foxoΔ94/Df(3R)Exel8159 starved early third instar larvae eliminates this delay in metamorphosis.
Prothoracic gland size is reduced in larvae expressing foxoScer\UAS.cKc under the control of Scer\GAL4P0206.
Scer\GAL4phtm.PO, foxoUAS.cKc has abnormal developmental rate | nutrition conditional phenotype, enhanceable by Scer\GAL4phtm.PO
Scer\GAL4phtm.PO, foxoUAS.cKc has increased body size | pharate adult stage | nutrition conditional phenotype, enhanceable by uspUAS.cUa/Scer\GAL4phtm.PO
foxoUAS.cKc/Scer\GAL4phtm.PO is an enhancer of increased body size | pharate adult stage phenotype of Scer\GAL4phtm.PO, uspUAS.cUa
Expression of uspScer\UAS.cUa enhances the delay in 'critical weight' ecdysone peak in response to starvation seen when foxoScer\UAS.cKc is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4phm.PO. The increase in larval body size at critical weight is also enhanced.
Co-expression of uspScer\UAS.cUa and foxoScer\UAS.cKc under the control of Scer\GAL4phm.PO enhances the increase in pharate adult body size seen following larval starvation compared with either transgene alone.
