Flies raised at the restrictive temperature (29oC) show strong abnormalities in olfactory adaptation, requiring shorter times for half-recovery than when cultured at the permissive temperature (24oC). Files grown at the permissive temperature are indistinguishable from wild type.
Temperature sensitive period is restricted to the last 72 hours of the pupal stage.
temperature-sensitive. Permissive temperature for normal ERG phenotype <25oC; restrictive temperature >=29oC. Temperature-sensitive period limited to last 72 hours of pupal life (Wong, Schaefer, Roop, LaMendola, Johnson-Seaton and Shao, 1989).
