UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Under constant darkness, individuals expressing mndGD453 under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.UAS do not show defects in circadian rhythmicity, nor defects in the arborizations of I-LNv (Pdf-positive) neurons, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing mndGD453 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.
