UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Scer\GAL4btl.PU-mediated expression of rebGD7952 produces no detectable defects in the pattern, migration or diversification of tracheal cells, or in gas filling or chitin deposition in the trachea.
Adults expressing rebGD7952 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
