UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
wing, with Scer\GAL4nub.PU
The wings of flies expressing nwGD17618 under the control of Scer\GAL4nub.PU are narrower and longer than controls.
When nwGD17618 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU the wings are narrower and longer than controls. This phenotype arises between 1-24 hours after pupal formation.
Adults expressing nwGD17618 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.
