Behavior Tests
Experiment 1: Use real-time PCR to determine whether the expression of TH is higher at 29°C

Mating index (the relative time that the fruit fly use for mating):
Experiment 3: Test the modified Drosophila’ gender preferences
Comparison of time that the fruit flies use for mating male or female flies:
Experiment 4: Test whether the modified fruit flies increase their appeal for males
The time that the fruit fly use for mating in five minutes:
There was no courtship in all groups.
Experiment 5: Does the co-culture of wild-type and modified fruit flies influence their courtship with wild-type females?
Comparison of time that the fruit flies use for mating male or female flies:
Experiment 6: Is the viability of modified fruit flies affected?
The number of live flies in the absence of food and water:
Experiment 7: The reproductive curve of the modified fruit fly.
Experiment 8: Does the proportion of modified flies have an impact on mating rates of population?
