In the odour-induced jump test, homozygous mutants of mysolfC-x5 are defective in response to iso-amyl acetate but not benzaldehyde or ethyl acetate, when compared to controls.
mysolfC-x17 and mysolfC-x17/mys11 synapses at the larval neuromuscular junction show overgrowth.
Mutants exhibit reduced olfactory responses to isoamyl acetate, whether homozygous or in combination with mysolfC-x3, mysolfC-x10 or mysolfC-x5. Homozygous mutants are wild-type in response to ethyl acetate, but show a reduced response in combination with mysolfC-x3 and mysolfC-x10.
Larvae show a reduced response to iso-pentyl acetate. Larvae show abnormal responses to certain acetates. Larvae are repulsed at high volumes and indifferent to low volumes of hexyl acetate.
No significant differences between wild type and mysolfC-x17 larval response to ethanol, hexanol and nonanol.
Homozygous adults show a reduced attraction to iso-amyl acetate compared to wild-type in a slow chemotaxis assay and an odor-induced jump assay, although they appear to detect ethyl acetate normally. Homozygous larvae also show a reduced attraction to iso-amyl acetate but not ethyl acetate. Responses of larvae and adults to benzaldehyde, propionic acid and butanol are normal. mysolfC-x10/mysolfC-x17 and mysolfC-x17/Df(1)C128 flies are defective in their responses to both ethyl acetate and iso-amyl acetate.
normal response to ethyl acetate; reduced to iso-amyl acetate mysolfC-x17 female hemizygotes defective in responses to both ethyl and iso-amyl acetates, whereas, this allele in homozygous females allows for normal responses to ethyl acetate.

In the odour-induced jump test, the transheterozygous combination of mysolfC-x17 with swsolfE-x26 show a reduced response to both iso-amyl acetate and benzaldehyde but a normal response to ethyl acetate, compared to controls.
Mutants with mysolfC-x17 in transheterozygosity to Df(1)C128 (which removes both sws and mys) show defects in response to iso-amyl acetate but not benzaldehyde compared to controls, when tested in the odour-induced jump test.
When tested in the odour-induced jump-test, hemizygous males of mysolfC-x17 carrying swsolfE-E2 show a reduced response to iso-amyl acetate but not benzaldehyde compared to controls.
When tested in the odour-induced jump-test, double heterozygotes of mewM6 and mysolfC-x17 show reduced responses to both ethyl acetate and iso-amyl acetate.
When tested in the odour-induced jump-test, swsolfE-E2 rescues the reduced response to iso-amyl acetate and benzaldehyde observed in mysolfC-x17/swsolfE-x26 transheterozygotes.
When tested in the odour-induced jump test, mutants with the heteroallelic combination of mysolfC-x17 and swsolfE-x26 with myshs.PBu show slightly less severely defective responses to iso-amyl acetate and benzaldehyde compared to mysolfC-x17 and swsolfE-x26 alone.
mysolfC-x17 e(olfC)1a double homozygotes (referred to as strain olfCx17-1a) have a stronger phenotype than mysolfC-x17 single homozygotes; the defect in response to iso-amyl acetate is stronger, and there is a reduction in response to benzaldehyde and ethyl acetate in an olfactory jump assay.
