rheaUbi-p63E.EGFP rescues Df(3L)79a
rheaUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP (supplied maternally) rescues the embryonic lethality of embryos lacking maternal and zygotic rhea function (homozygous Df(3L)79a embryos derived from homozygous Df(3L)79a female germline clones). The rescued embryos do not show germband retraction, dorsal closure or muscle attachment defects.
Expression of rheaUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP rescues the embryonic lethality seen in maternal and zygotic Df(3L)79a mutants. The dorsal closure and germband retraction defects are fully rescued.
The germband retraction, dorsal closure and myotendinous junction defects seen in embryos lacking maternal and zygotic rhea function (homozygous Df(3L)79a embryos derived from homozygous Df(3L)79a female germline clones) are almost completely rescued by expression of rheaUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP, with only a small percentage (1-5%) of the rescued embryos still showing defects.
