Expression of Gr64a[Scer\UAS.cJa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr5a.1] does not restore the trehalose-response in Df(3L)ΔGr64 mutants. Expression of Gr64a[Scer\UAS.cJa] in Df(3L)ΔGr64 mutants under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr5a.1] does not restore the behavioural and electrophysiological responses to any of the sugars sucrose, maltose and glucose. Df(3L)ΔGr64 mutants expressing both Gr64f[Scer\UAS.cJa] and Gr64a[Scer\UAS.cJa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr5a.1] show a behavioural preference for sucrose over fructose that is very similar to that of wild-type flies. The wild-type frequency of action potentials in response to sucrose is also restored in these animals. Expression of Gr64a[Scer\UAS.cJa] in Df(3L)ΔGr64 mutants under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr5a.1] do not improve their behavioural and electrophysiological responses to glucose. Co-expression of Gr64a[Scer\UAS.cJa] and Gr64f[Scer\UAS.cJa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr5a.1] restores normal preference for glucose over fructose and wild-type frequencies of glucose dependent actin potentials.

Comments
Expression of Gr64a[Scer\UAS.cJa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr5a.8.5] in Df(3L)Gr64[ab] flies fully restores the preferences for sucrose, glucose, or maltose over fructose, but not the trehalose response. Consistent with this, the reduction of action potentials in response to glucose, sucrose, and maltose seen in Df(3L)Gr64[ab] flies is rescued through expression of Gr64a[Scer\UAS.cJa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr5a.8.5]. However, the reduction of action potentials in response to trehalose is not rescued.
