“…In situ hybridization with Gr genes has been mostly unsuccessful (Clyne et al, 2000;Dahanukar et al, 2007;Dunipace et al, 2001;Moon et al, 2009;Scott et al, 2001), likely due to low expression levels, and thus the GAL4/UAS system has been more widely utilized to analyze Gr expression patterns (Brand and Perrimon, 1993;Chyb et al, 2003;Dunipace et al, 2001;Moon et al, 2009;Scott et al, 2001;Thorne and Amrein, 2008). Gr-GAL4 expression patterns in the adult labellum correspond well with functional analysis (Weiss et al, 2011), validating this approach. Since expression driven by Gr-GAL4 transgenes can be variable depending on the independent insertion line, we initially selected and used representative lines for each Gr-GAL4 driver that were previously observed to be the most consistent in expression levels and pattern, with high penetrance (A.D., J.Y.K., L.W., F. L., J-H.P., and J.R.C., unpublished results) (Weiss et al, 2011).…”
