Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Flies expressing wdsRNA.Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF have defective eye pigmentation - their eyes are orange.

Expression of wdsRNA.Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL leads to total eye color loss.

Flies expressing wdsRNA.Scer\UAS.cKa in serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL show conditioned memory deficits compared to controls.

Expression of wdsRNA.Scer\UAS.cKa in dopaminergic neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF does not affect memory performance.

Expression of wdsRNA.Scer\UAS.cKa driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF eliminates eye pigmentation.

Comments

Co-expression of wRESC.Scer\UAS and wdsRNA.Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL restores eye color in w1118 mutants. The eye color seen is identical to that seen when only wRESC.Scer\UAS is expressed.

Comments

Transcription from the P{UAS-w-dsRNA.K} produces w dsRNA, resulting in dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the w.
