Interestingly, knockdown of ERR in male accessory glands alone (prd-GAL4; BL1947) or in male accessory glands as well as seminal vesicles (c825-GAL4; BL6987) or transiently in early spermatocytes, cyst cells, pigment cells and muscle sheath (sbb-GAL4; BL12772) or in male accessory glands, cyst cells and germ cells (c855-GAL4; BL6989) or in early germ cells (nos-GAL4), or in spermatogonia alone (bam-GAL4) or in early cyst cells alone (Tj-GAL4) did not produce any significant effect on the fertility of females mated to these ERR knockdown males (Fig. 1A). This evidence concerns the gene SLC7A1 and cyst.
