Expression of DopEcRScer\UAS.cIa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 enhances the sugar-sensitive proboscis extension reflex (PER) seen in female flies following 6 hours of wet starvation. No increase is seen in well-fed flies.
Expression of DopEcRScer\UAS.cIa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 rescues the loss of sugar sensitivity seen in DopEcRc02142 mutant females in response to 6 hours of wet starvation.
