The ectopic expression of Gr22bScer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2 leads to the following electrophysiological response changes of labellar sensilla to bitter tastants, as compared to controls: I-a and I-b sensilla display novel responses to Cucurbitacin I hydrate, D-(+)-sucrose octaacetate and Azadirachtin; I-a sensilla also display significantly increased responses to (-)-lobeline HCl, Denatonium benzoate and Berberine chloride; I-b sensilla also display significantly decreased responses to Theobromine, Caffeine, Theophylline and Umbelliferone; S-a sensilla display significantly increased responses to Cucurbitacin I hydrate and D-(+)-sucrose octaacetate, and significantly decreased responses to Denatonium benzoate, Sparteine sulfate salt, Strychnine nitrate salt, Aristolochic acid, Berberine chloride, and (-)-lobeline HCl; these labellar sensilla types display no significant electrophysiological response changes to Rotenone, N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide, Escin, Gossypol, Myricetin, Coumarin, Saponin, and Quinine.
Scer\GAL4Gr66a.1.8/Gr22bUAS.cDa is an enhancer of abnormal neurophysiology phenotype of Gr59cΔ
Scer\GAL4Gr66a.1.8/Gr22bUAS.cDa is an enhancer of intermediate labellar taste bristle phenotype of Gr59cΔ
The expression of Gr22bScer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr66a.1.8 leads to Gr59cΔ homozygous labellar I-a sensilla displaying novel electrophysiological responses to Azadirachtin, Sparteine sulfate salt, Escin and D-(+)-sucrose octaacetate, significant enhancements to their novel electrophysiological responses to Theophylline and Umbelliferone, but not to Caffeine, and virtual elimination of the responses to Aristolochic acid, Saponin, Berberine chloride and Strychnine nitrate salt.
