sensory neuron & labellar taste bristle, with Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407
Expression of G-sα60AdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4P0.5.Pdf results in an average circadian period of 25.0 hours, which is significantly longer than the 24.0 or 23.8 hr period of control flies with Scer\GAL4P0.5.Pdf or G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa alone.
Expression of G-sα60AdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Orco.T:Hsim\VP16 does not reduce the odour response of the ab1A or ab2A olfactory receptor neurons (tested with ethyl acetate) or of the ab3A ORN (tested with methyl butyrate).
Expression of G-sα60AdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr21a.9.323 does not reduce the response of the ab1C ORN to CO[[2]].
Uptake of 10-80mM trehalose solution is significantly lower in G-sα60AScer\UAS.dsRNA/Scer\GAL41407 flies than in wild-type controls. This effect is not seen with lower concentrations of trehalose.
Stimulation of long labellar taste bristles with 5-80mM trehalose in G-sα60AScer\UAS.dsRNA/Scer\GAL41407 flies induces significantly more biphasic spikes in associated sensory neurons than seen in wild-type controls.
