UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of rowGD12377 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) leads to significantly impaired habituation, a form of non-associative learning, in a light-off jump reflex paradigm, as compared with controls.
Adults expressing rowGD12377 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in planar polarity defects in the orientation of bristles of the notum in 60-70% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
