A,B: KO in embyro stage
C: KO in larvae stage (Experiment 1: in 30 °C for 18 hours, Experiment 2: in 30 °C for 36 hours)

We phenocopied the results of the ELAV-Gal4 cross.

Now we are waiting for the results of the Temperature switch at the second instar larvae stage

Knockout of FoxP in adult Drosophila, using nsyb Gal4 gen-switch line 80699. Flies were kept for two days on RU486 food.
