Expression of Mio^KK109174 under the control of Scer\GAL4^αTub84B.PL results in delayed pupation and reduced pupal survival on a high sugar diet (20% yeast, 15% sucrose).

Larvae expressing Mio^KK109174 under the control of Scer\GAL4^αTub84B.PL show an increase in hemolymph glucose compared to controls, with a moderate increase when raised on a 20% yeast diet and a more prominent increase when raised on a 20% yeast, 5% sucrose diet. Mutant larvae show a prominent increase in hemolymph trehalose compared to controls when raised on a 20% yeast diet, with a further increase if they are raised on a 20% yeast, 5% sucrose diet. Total glycogen levels are significantly increased in mutant larvae raised on a 20% yeast, 5% sucrose diet.
