UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
In contrast to wild type flies, flies expressing Gr68aGD650 under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr68a.PB or Scer\GAL4elav.PU do not exhibit any courtship defects in the presence of (S,Z,Z)-CH503 (a more potent stereoisomer of the gustatory sex pheromone CH503).
Expression of Gr68aGD650 under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr33a-GAL4 has no impact on the L-canavadine avoidance seen in wild type flies in a two-way choice behavioral assay.
Adults expressing Gr68aGD650 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.
