Imprecise excision of P{GawB}aru8.128 results in some of the P-element remaining in the genome. A significant proportion of the mini-white gene has been removed.
In place memory, aruS13 flies exhibit memory levels that are statistically indistinguishable from wild-type canton-S control levels.
aruS13 alleles in a Berlin genetic background exhibit wild-type memory levels.
aruS13 alleles exhibit a lower level olfactory memory performance than wild-type flies, regardless of genetic background (in Canton-S or Berlin flies).
aruS13 flies exhibit wild-type abilities to sense and avoid odours, electric shock, and high temperatures. The only exception is the increase avoidance of the odourant 3-octanol compared to the wild-type Canton-S levels.
