From: Contribution of oenocytes and pheromones to courtship behaviour in Drosophila
Overexpression of desat1 in oenocytes results in an increase of unsaturated hydrocarbons (monoenes and dienes) and a decrease in saturated ones. Mean hydrocarbons (± SEM) of 4-day-old male and female flies of wild-type (white) or expressing desat1 (grey) under 1407-GAL4 driver. Three different UAS-desat1 lines (a, b, c) were used. n = 10 for all tests. All the hydrocarbon differences between control (1407-GAL4/+) and desat1 overexpressing lines (1407-GAL4/UAS-desat1) were significantly different (P < 0.05, Student's t-test).
