A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{GT1}; created and vetted by the Gene Disruption Project (GDP). The P{GT1} construct is described as a dual-tagged gene trap (FBrf0132344):it carries (1) w[+mGT1] mini-white marker, designed to confer a pigmented eye phenotype only if the construct is inserted within a host gene, and (2) a promoter-less Ser\GAL4 gene which is expressed if it is produced as a fusion with the mRNA produced by the host gene. The construct also carries a Tn\neoR selectable marker (FBrf0132344).

Statement
Reference
Homozygous males and females show a significant reduction in the number of sternopleural bristles compared to controls. Homozygous males show a significant reduction in the number of abdominal bristles compared to controls. Mutant flies show reduced behavioural avoidance responses to benzaldehyde compared to controls. Mutants show normal locomotor activity. The average number of aggressive encounters by males competing for a limited food supply after a period of food deprivation is approximately 1.8 fold greater in neur[BG02391] males than in controls. Gross morphological defects are not seen in the α-lobes of the mushroom body or in the ellipsoid body of neur[BG02587] adults. However, detailed morphometric analysis reveals that the width of the α- and β-lobes is significantly increased in neur[BG02391] adults compared to controls and that the neur[BG02391] animals show a reduction in ellipsoid body surface.
Mutants show a reduced olfactory avoidance response to 0.03, 0.10 or 0.30% benzaldehyde compared to control flies, while the avoidance response is not significantly from that of control flies at benzaldehyde concentrations of 1.0 or 3.0%.
