Shanghai-SDG # Drosophila Sentry: A visible monitoring system for heavy metal pollution # We aim to develop a convenient and inexpensive visual monitoring system for heavy metal pllution by constructing transgenic Drosophila. We inserted MTF-1 gene driven by UAS and Hid gene driven by MRE in Drosophila S2 cells, respectively. These two transgenic Drosophila lines interbreed and the offspring with both MTF-1 and Hid genes cross with the Drosophila line with genotype GMR-GAL4 or Vg-GAL4 or ptc-GAL4 which express GAL4 during eye/wing development. ...
