      Expression of NdsRNA.P.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4C96 results in a number of wing phenotypes depending on the P{UAS-N.dsRNA.P} insertion line used, ranging from no defects in wing margin formation, through subtle bristle defects, a consistent notched phenotype to extreme loss of dorsal and ventral wing tissue. Expression of NdsRNA.P.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev or Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in a rough eye phenotype. Animals expressing NdsRNA.P.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 show balding of the thorax and either loss of notal macrochaetae or multiplication of macrochaetae (depending on the P{UAS-N.dsRNA.P} insertion line used). Animals expressing NdsRNA.P.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4A307 have a markedly impaired startle response to proprionic acid vapour compared to controls.
      When NdsRNA.P.Scer\UAS is driven by Scer\GAL4c747, short term memory is normal, however long term memory is impaired.
      Adults carrying NdsRNA.P.Scer\UAS, Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130 and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B and raised at the permissive temperature have wild-type midguts (at this temperature, the Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B protein inhibits Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130). When these flies are shifted to the non-permissive temperature (which inactivates Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B, allowing expression of NdsRNA.P.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP5130), there is an increase in the number of small cells in the adult midgut epithelium.
