Expression of EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cCa} under the control of Scer\GAL4^ppk.1.9 results in severe dendrite severing defects in the ddaC dorsal dendritic arborising neurons at 18 hours after puparium formation.

Expression of EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cCa} under the control of either Scer\GAL4^ptc-559.1 or Scer\GAL4^bab1-Pgal4-2 in the somatic cells of the germarium (using the temperature sensitive Scer\GAL80^ts.αTub84B allele to restrict expression to the adult stage) results in supernumerary germline cells containing a single spectrosome at the expense of developing cysts.

Single cell somatic clones in the ovary expressing EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cCa} under the control of Scer\GAL4^Act.PU and induced during niche development resemble niche cells by their shape and their ability to anchor germline cells containing a single spectrosome (SSCs). The mutant germaria contain supernumerary SSCs compared to controls.

Expression of EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cCa} under the control of Scer\GAL4^da.Switch.PT in male flies in the presence of 50μg ml[-1] RU486 results in an increase in the median and maximum lifespan compared to controls (increase of 26% and 45% respectively). These males show a significant improvement in climbing ability at 4 weeks of age compared to controls. In the presence of 100μg ml[-1] RU486 there is no effect on the median lifespan and maximum lifespan is only increased by 17% in males expressing EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cCa} under the control of Scer\GAL4^da.Switch.PT. In the presence of 200μg ml[-1] RU486 the median lifespan of these males is 14% lower than that of controls.

Expression of EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cCa} under the control of Scer\GAL4^Switch1.106 in male flies in the presence of RU486 increases their mean and median lifespans over the full range of RU486 concentrations tested.

Expression of EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cCa} under the control of Scer\GAL4^da.Switch.PT in the presence of RU486 in female flies decreases lifespan in a RU486 dose-dependent manner. A few days after starting RU4896 treatment, the number of eggs laid per female is lower than that laid by control females and is RU486 dose-dependent. Most of the eggs do not develop and the eggs show a number of defects including wide, branched dorsal appendages and thin eggshells. Ovaries of the treated females only show defects from stage 10 of oogenesis, notably delayed border cell migration and abnormal dorsal appendage morphogenesis.

Expression of EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cCa} under the control of Scer\GAL4^ppk.1.9 results in a significant reduction in the mean density of the dendritic branches of the ddaC dendritic arborisation neurons compared to controls.

Expression of EcR^IR.Scer\UAS in histoblasts, under the control of Scer\GAL4^esg-NP5130, results in the abolishment of histoblast cell division up to the time of nest spreading. Animals of this genotype are viable as adults but have variable abdominal defects.

When EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS} is driven by Scer\GAL4^arm.PS at 25^oC 30% lethality is seen in late pupal stages; Larval growth is increased; persistent larval mouth hooks are seen and pupariation timing is normal. At 29^o lethality is complete. When EcR^{dsRNA.Scer\UAS} is driven by Scer\GAL4^da.G32 100% lethality is seen which can be as early as embryonic stages. Double mouth hooks and spiracles can be observed.
