Expression of EcRmiRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4CG13917-BG01278 has no significant effect on male fertility (number of progeny produced by wild-type females mated to the knock-down males).
Expression using Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 results in a small eye and 100% of mushroom bodies have a pruning defect.
Scer\GAL4ey-OK107-mediated expression of EcRmiRNA.Scer\UAS blocks pruning of mushroom body gamma neurons, which maintain larval-type projections in the adult brain.
