Expression of trxdsRNA.Scer\UAS, following induction of the Scer\GAL4hs.PB driver by placing larvae at 37oC for 30 minutes during the second and early third instar stages, leads to complete lethality of adults.
The structure of polytene chromosomes in larvae that express trxdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB is indistinguishable from that of wild-type larvae.
Expression of P{UAS-trx.RNAi} produces dsRNA which results dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the trx gene.
