An 18.7kb wild-type genomic transgene that contains 560bp of the exons specific to the orb2 E-H isoforms and none of the I isoform.
orb2Δ homozygotes that express orb2+t18.7 do not exhibit a significant decrease in long-term memory in male courtship suppression assays, as compared to controls.
orb2+t18.7 rescues orb2Δ
Expression of orb2+t18.7 rescues the courtship behavior defects seen in orb2Δ mutant males.
Expression of orb2+t18.7 completely rescues the defects in olfactory memory seen in orb2Δ mutant flies.
