The Gr64f coding sequence has been replaced with sequence encoding a lexA::VP16 driver.
The Gr64f coding sequence has been replaced with sequence encoding a lexA::VP16 driver. A single loxP site is also present downstream of the inserted driver sequence.

Gr64fLEXA homozygous, but not heterozygous, mutant adult females have a significant increase in preference for softer 100 mM sucrose-containing, but not plain, agarose for egg laying, compared to controls; mutant females also have a significant reduction in preference for 100 mM sucrose-containing (rather than plain) agarose for egg laying, compared to controls.
Homozygous Gr64fLEXA mutant flies exhibit a reduced proboscis extension response to arabinose, glucose and trehalose upon stimulation of the tarsal taste sensilla. The responses to arabinose, glucose and fructose are reduced upon stimulation of the labial sensilla.
Df(3L)ΔGr64/Gr64fLEXA, Gr5a[+]/Gr5aLEXA, Gr61a1 has abnormal oviposition | chemical conditional phenotype
Adult females with Gr5aLEXA/+, Gr61a1/+ and Gr64fLEXA/Df(3L)ΔGr64, have a significant increase in preference for softer 100 mM sucrose-containing, but not plain, agarose for egg laying, compared to controls; these mutants also have a significant reduction in preference for 100 mM sucrose-containing (rather than plain) agarose for egg laying, compared to controls.
