Expression of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP>AttAGD17307 using P{GD17307}v50320 results in increased mortality relative to wild-type upon nemato-bacterial infection. Expression of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP>AttAGD1649 using P{GD17307}v50319 fails to increase mortality.
Adults expressing AttAGD17307 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
