After exposure to four pulses of ethanol vapor delivered at 6 minute intervals, wild-type flies habituate to 43% of naive response levels, whereas sggtwkr mutants display a reduced acquisition of habituation but a normal discrimination between divergent stimuli.
sggtwkr mutants exhibit a significant lengthening of circadian period. sggtwkr heterozygotes show a normal period length.
With respect to circadian period length, the following alleles can be ranked from longest to shortest: sggEP1576 = sggtwkr/+ = sgg1/sggEP1576 < sggtwkr/sggtwkr < sgg1/sggtwkr.
