Ugt36E1KG04070 homozygous mutant males exhibit a decreased sex discrimination under red light while they exhibit no difference in sex discrimination and locomotor activity under white light when compared to controls.
Ugt36E1KG04070 homozygous mutant males exhibit an increased difference of relative responses to male and female volatile compounds when compared to controls.
Knockdown of Ugt36E1 levels by expressing Ugt36E1GD1766 under the control of Scer\GAL4Orco.PK rescues the decreased sex discrimination phenotype of Ugt36E1KG04070/Ugt36E1KG04070 homozygous mutant males (the Ugt36E1KG04070 mutation increases Ugt36E1 expression levels relative to controls).
