Flies expressing Ir84aScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4Or35a.PF results in a strong olfactory response to phenylacetaldehyde in the ac3 sensilla (a response not seen in the wild-type ac3 sensilla), although a response to phenylacetonitrile is not seen in the ac3 sensilla in these flies.
Neurons co-expressing Ir84aScer\UAS.cBa and Ir8aScer\UAS.T:Hsap\CALR,T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Or22a.7.717 respond to phenylacetaldehyde in a concentration-dependent manner.

Scer\GAL4Ir84a-GAL4/Ir84aUAS.cBa partially rescues Ir84aGAL4
Expression of Ir84aScer\UAS.cBa using Scer\GAL4Ir84a-GAL4 restores the response to phenylacetic acid and phenylacetaldehyde in Ir84aGAL4 homozygotes. The reduced courtship seen in Ir84aGAL4 males is also rescued.
The increased courtship seen in wild type males when killed female objects are perfumed with phenylacetic acid (or fly food) is not observed in Ir84aGAL4 males, but this is partially restored by expression of Ir84aScer\UAS.cBa.
