Expression of ovoA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 prevents the formation of denticle rows 2-3, resulting in a stripe of naked cuticle in embryos.
Females expressing ovoA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 have small atrophic ovaries with no discernible germline.
