FlyBase curator comment: this entry represents a transgenic construct where the particular construct used cannot be determined.
Expression of TER94dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cUa under the control of either Scer\GAL4Hand.PU or Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 results in shortened adult lifespan and impaired cardiac function (increased systolic and diastolic diameters, reduced fractional shortening).
The histolysis of larval midgut and the removal of the gastric caeca, which occur during metamorphosis, are delayed in a significant proportion of individuals expressing TER94dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cUa under the combined control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU and Gal80[ts] for induction only from the second instar larval stage onwards, as compared to controls.
