Construct: A heat shock promoter drives expression of the scrib A2 cDNA.
scribhs.PB rescues scribsmi97B
Expression of scribhs.PB using heat shock at 37oC rescues the olfactory behaviour of scribsmi97B adults. scribsmi97B animals carrying scribhs.PB and maintained at 25oC show partial rescue of the scribsmi97B phenotype; the avoidance response to benzaldehyde is restored to normal in males, although females are still significantly smell impaired.
Rescues the lethality of strong heteroallelic scrib combinations when expressed using heat shock.
