UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of PlodGD5882 under the control of Scer\GAL4tj-NP1624 results in the production of round eggs.
Follicle cells expressing PlodGD5882 under the control of Scer\GAL4tj-NP1624 have normal endoplasmic reticulum structure except for unusually distended basal ER cisternae.
Adults expressing PlodGD5882 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.
