A heat shock promoter drives expression of RNAi against Lpin (two PCR products derived from cDNA GH19076).
Expression of LpindsRNA.hs (induced by heat shock) does not result in any apparent larval developmental defect, but fat bodies in these larvae exhibit reduced lipid droplet size, as compared to controls, and pupae exhibit increased lethality, as compared to controls.
LpinRNAi.hs has some die during P-stage | heat sensitive phenotype, enhanceable by Tor[+]/mTork17004
LpinRNAi.hs, Tor[+]/mTork17004 has visible | larval stage | heat sensitive phenotype
LpinRNAi.hs, Tor[+]/mTork17004 has abnormal size | larval stage | heat sensitive phenotype
LpinRNAi.hs has lipid droplet | larval stage | heat sensitive phenotype, non-enhanceable by Tor[+]/mTork17004
LpinRNAi.hs, Tor[+]/mTork17004 has embryonic/larval fat body | larval stage | heat sensitive phenotype
Tork17004/+ in larvae expressing LpindsRNA.hs (induced by heat shock) leads to a reduction in fat body mass and a transparent appearance of larvae; an increase in pupal lethality as compared to larvae expressing LpindsRNA.hs in a wild type background; and the fat bodies from these larvae are smaller; but lipid droplets in the fat bodies of these larvae exhibit a similar size reduction as those in larvae expressing LpindsRNA.hs in a wild type background.
