UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a DsRed(Unk) fluorescent protein. A genomic fragment containing the mir-318 pre-miRNA hairpin has been inserted into the DsRed(Unk) 3'UTR.
Expression of mir-318Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 results in male lethality. In surviving adults, wings are small, curved and folded and all have blisters.
Surviving adults expressing mir-318Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 have almost no wing.
Expression of mir-318Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 results in wing vein thickening.
