When expression of sliScer\UAS.cBa is driven by Scer\GAL4sli.PS, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4en-e16E the ventral nerve cord is disrupted with interruption of intersegmental connections and displacement of the axon tracts away from the source of sli protein.
sliΔE2-E6.UAS/Scer\GAL4sli.PS partially rescues sli2
Midline CNS phenotype of sli2 is significantly rescued, though viability is not restored.
