UAS-Flp [#5254] and act>y>Gal4,UAS-GFP [#4411], UAS-mCherry. UASSlit
RNAi(TRiP1) and UAS-Slit
RNAi(TRiP2) are from the Transgenic RNAi Project, stocks JF01228 and JF01229. UAS-Slit
RNAi(VDRC) and UAS-Prospero
RNAi were obtained from the Vienna Drosophila RNAi Center (transformant ID 20210 and 101477 respectively). The line esgGal4
NP5130 was kindly provided by S. Hayashi, DeltaGal4 and Su(H)GBEGal4 by S. Hou, UAS-Notch
RNAi by N. Perrimon UAS-Notch
intra by M. Rand, actin5cGal4Geneswitch(255) by J. Towers and NP1Gal4 by D.Ferrandon.
The UAS-lea
RNAi, UAS-Slit
RNAi(VDRC) and UAS-Pros
RNAi were validated and successfully used in previous studies (Brierley et al., 2009 (
link); Neumuller et al., 2011 (
link); Tayler et al., 2004 (
link)).
Flies were raised on standard yeast and molasses - based food, at 25°C and 65% humidity, on a 12 h light/dark cycle, unless otherwise indicated.
