UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies expressing sloGD244 under the control of either Scer\GAL4TrpA1.PR or Scer\GAL4Orco.2.642.T:Hsim\VP22 show significantly reduced avoidance of citronellal in a direct airborne repellent test (DART) assay.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in a weak flyer phenotype.
