Expression of Blimp-1dsRNA.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4ppl.PP (along with TubGAL80ts, to allow expression only after puparium formation) significantly advances timing of pupation compared to controls.
Expression of Blimp-1dsRNA.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU results largely in lethality at pupal stages - if there are escapers (depending on the line used), they die shortly after or during eclosion; introduction of Blimp-1GS14751/+ enhances lethality.
