microchaeta & tarsal segment 5, with Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1
When pxbScer\UAS.cIa is driven by Scer\GAL4Dll-em212 Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4 or Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 cuticle defects are seen in the medial region of all three leg types. The region of tarsal segment 5 flanked by longitudinal bristle rows 1 and 8 show a significant loss of microchaetae in a dose dependant manner. Raising the temperature from 25 to 29oC gives no appreciable effects on hair reduction. No loss of the distal-most sensory bristle is seen. When pxbScer\UAS.cIa is driven by Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 a reduction in the number of scutellar bristles is seen. Animals have 2.8 bristles on average (compared to 4 in wild-type and 4.3 in homozygous Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 animals) and only a quarter of animals possess 4 bristles.
