Spermatogenesis-specific driver for binary tet-off expression system. a piggyBac-based transgenic construct HMMA389 to generate a testes-specific driver line carrying the β2t promoter [52] fused to tTA. b-d Whole mount in situ hybridisation to detect gene expression in D. suzukii male reproductive organs. b Testes-specific tTA expression driven by the Ds_β2t promoter in line 389_F25M1. c Ds_β2t expression in wildtype testes detected by an antisense probe. d Negative control using a Ds_β2t sense probe on wildtype testes
