UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Wild-type mates of knock-down males expressing CG31326GD1265 under the control of Scer\GAL4Abd-B.D1 do not show any significant impairment of post-mating receptivity suppression compared to when mated with wild-type males and the females also lay comparable number of eggs.
Adults expressing CG31326GD1265 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.
