UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Gr32aGD590 under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr33a-GAL4 has no impact on the L-canavanine avoidance seen in wild type flies in a two-way choice behavioral assay.
D. melanogaster males expressing Gr32aGD590 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 court conspecific D. melanogaster females, but in contrast to wild-type D. melanogaster control males, they also court D. virilis, D. simulans and D. yakuba females.
Adults expressing Gr32aGD590 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
