Larvae expressing ThorY54A.M59A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB resist nutritional stress somewhat better in the first 12 hours, but after 36 hours of complete starvation their survival is as poor as in a null allele and is far lower than that of control animals (a survival rate of 8.5% compared to 27.6% in Oregon-R).
ThorY54A.M59A.UAS/Scer\GAL4hs.PB fails to rescue ThorΔ1034-2617
Expression of ThorY54A.M59A.Scer\UAS, under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB does not rescue the increased sensitivity of ThorΔ1034-2617 larvae to starvation. Expression of ThorY54A.M59A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB does not rescue oxidative stress sensitivity (median life-span of 24.1 hours, 0.4% survival rate at 60 hours).
