Homozygote sbd2/sbd2, deficiency trans-heterozygote sbd201/Df(3R)sbd105 or heterozygote Sb63b/+, and Sbspike/+ stocks carrying two copies of the wild-type Sb-sbd transgene (hs-Sb+/hs-Sb+), and sbd2/sbd2 carrying two copies of the protease-disabled S737A transgene were collected as white prepupae, aged at 25° until 27.5 hr AP, and then either heat shocked at 37° for 1 hr (hs1) or maintained at 25° (no hs). Another set of Sb63b pupae carrying the wild-type transgene was heat shocked at 24, 26, and 28 hr AP (hs2). After heat shock, pupae were returned to 25° until eclosion. Adults were scored for wt, sbd, Sb, or intermediate (int) phenotype bristles (n: number of adults; % wt, sbd, Sb, or int: percentage of each phenotype observed).
