Mutant flies are highly sensitive to the insecticide carbofuran.
Mutant flies show a decrease in exploration compared to controls in an olfaction-based exploration assay when benzaldehyde is used as the odour source.
The sexual behaviour dimorphism which is observed in wild-type flies in a olfaction-based exploration assay when propionaldehyde or benzaldehyde is used as the odour source is abolished in mutant flies.
Mutant flies show increased lethality after exposure to benzaldehyde compared to control flies.
CG11699EY05909 forR and CG11699EY05909 fors double mutant flies show the same profile as CG11699EY05909 single mutant flies in an olfaction-based exploration assay when benzaldehyde is used as the odour source.
