UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Gr66aGD14820 under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr33a-GAL4 dramatically reduces the L-canavanine avoidance seen in wild type flies in a two-way choice behavioral assay.
Adults expressing Gr66aGD14820 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.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in loss of bristles on the notum in 40-50% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
