In males expressing qtc^GD8202 pan-neuronally, courtship of females is significantly decreased while male courtship is significantly increased, compared to controls.

Expression of qtc^GD8202 in the mushroom bodies under the control of Scer\GAL4^Mef2.247 abolishes male discrimination in males.

Targeting expression of qtc^GD8202 to the most chemosensory peripheral neurons (under the control of Scer\GAL4^GH146) does not affect male discrimination.

Expression of qtc^GD8202 in various subsets of the peripheral taste neurons known to be involved in the sex pheromone response (under the control of one of Scer\GAL4^Gr66a.PD, Scer\GAL4^Gr68a.PB, Scer\GAL4^Gr32a.3.776, or Scer\GAL4^Gr33a-GAL4) results in high levels of sex discrimination in males. No alteration in female mating behavior is detected.

Adults expressing qtc^GD8202 under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2^Scer\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.

Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4^Mef2.PR can result in viable flies or adult/pharate lethality.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 may result in lethality, depending on the insertion line used.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 results in extra bristles on the notum in 30-40% of the Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 expression domain.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 results in a colour difference between the central Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 expression domain of the notum and the surrounding lateral region in 70-80% of the Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 expression domain.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum.
