UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression via Scer\GAL4da.G32 has no effect on development when flies are reared in normoxia, but significantly increases the eclosion rate of flies raised in 5% oxygen (hypoxic) conditions, compared to controls.
Adults expressing GieGD10612 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.
