Males depleted for Spn3, through expression of Spn3dsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL, do not significantly differ from controls in the overall number of eggs laid.
The fertility of females mated to Spn3dsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS-Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL males does not differ significantly from controls.
Females mated to Spn3dsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS-Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL males show low receptivity to re-mating 24 hours after the initial mating.
Spn3dsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS appears to generate some off-target knock-down with Spn2.
