UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of wgnGD3427 under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 results in defects in R8 axon targeting (cell autonomous) and growth cone morphology and defects in R2-R5 axonal targeting (cell non-autonomous).
Adults expressing wgnGD3427 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.
