6.8kb SalI fragment of the abx regulatory region of Ubx, from approximate position -83 to -75 on the Ubx map, drives the expression of Ecol\lacZUbx.P140, inserted upstream of the Ubx promoter and in the same orientation.
In mid-stage embryos, strongest expression in parasegment 5. In later embryos, expression observed anterior to PS5.
construct_comment: Progenitors listed are those of plasmid, pP{abx6.8a}.
