P{lArB} insertion in the second intron.
Flies have an impaired olfactory avoidance response, showing a reductance in avoidance scores at concentrations of benzaldehyde between 0.03 and 1.0%.
Olfaction defective as measured in a dipstick assay using 1% benzaldehyde.
Avoidance score to benzaldehyde overlaps the avoidance score to water. Shows general hyposmia: avoidance score to 2-n-propylpyrazine and 2-isobutylthiazole is also reduced.
NaCP60Esmi60E has phenotype, enhanceable by smi61A1
NaCP60Esmi60E is an enhancer of phenotype of smi61A1
Excision of the P{lArB} element can revert the smell-impaired phenotype.
