Statement
Reference
Hmgcr[04684] homozygotes are lethal when raised at 24[o]C. However, when reared at 19[o]C, 5 and 10% of males and females, respectively, which are developmentally delayed, attempt to survive until adulthood. Quantification of the locomotor activity of these flies indicates that the start/stop number for both sexes is the same. Hmgcr[04684] heterozygotes exhibit a wild-type phenotype.

Comments
Expression of Hmgcr[Scer\UAS.cvDa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] or Scer\GAL4[to.PD] fails to rescue the lethality found in Hmgcr[04684] homozygotes. Expression of Hmgcr[Scer\UAS.cvDa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Scer\FRT.Act5C] completely rescues lethality, but does not rescue the sexual dimorphism. Expression of Hmgcr[Scer\UAS.cvDa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] is sufficient to rescue both the lethality (partly in males - 75%, and completely in females) and the start/stop number (indicating locomotor activity). Targeted expression of Hmgcr[Scer\UAS.cvDa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Scer\FRT.Act5C] and Scer\GAL4[Hmgcr.B] is sufficient to rescue the sexual dimorphism.
