Approximately one-third of newly hatched larvae expressing AlkdsRNA.WIZ.Scer\UAS under the simultaneous control of both Scer\GAL4twi.PG and Scer\GAL4how-24B have gut defects.
Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) size, elaboration and bouton density appears normal in third instar larvae expressing AlkdsRNA.WIZ.Scer\UAS under the simultaneous control of both Scer\GAL4twi.PG and Scer\GAL4how-24B. However, the mean evoked excitatory junctional potential (EJP) amplitude at the NMJ is increased 20% compared to controls.
