Expression and function of the empty spiracles gene in olfactory sense organ development of Drosophila melanogaster.
In Drosophila, the cephalic gap gene empty spiracles plays key roles in embryonic patterning of the peripheral and central nervous system. During postembryonic development, it is involved in the development of central olfactory circuitry in the antennal lobe of the adult. However, its possible role in the postembryonic development of peripheral olfactory sense organs has not been investigated. ...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Drosophila olfactory sense organs utilizes cell-cell interactions as well as lineage.
We have examined the mechanisms underlying the development of the olfactory sense organs on the third segment of the antenna of Drosophila. Our studies suggest that a novel developmental strategy is employed. Specification of the founder or precursor cell is not governed by the genes of the achaete-scute complex. Another basic helix-loop-helix encoding gene, atonal, is essential for determinati...
متن کاملPreferential expression of biotransformation enzymes in the olfactory organs of Drosophila melanogaster, the antennae.
Biotransformation enzymes have been found in the olfactory epithelium of vertebrates. We now show that in Drosophila melanogaster, a UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT), as well as a short chain dehydrogenase/reductase and a cytochrome P450 are expressed specifically or preferentially in the olfactory organs, the antennae. The evolutionarily conserved expression of biotransformation enzymes in olfact...
متن کاملChanges in gene expression during post-eclosional development in the olfactory system of Drosophila melanogaster
We have found that the expression of some genes in Drosophila melanogaster changes during the life of the adult fly. These changes can be illustrated by the use of enhancer trap lines which mark the expression of particular genes in the adult fly. Although the fly is considered able to perform most necessary adult functions within the first 72 h after eclosion from the pupal case, we find chang...
متن کاملJuvenile hormone inhibits differentiation of olfactory sense organs during postembryonic development of cockroaches.
The density of olfactory sense organs on the antenna of the cockroach, Leucqphaea maderae, is relatively constant throughout larval development (average 400 sensilla/mnP), but undergoes a substantial increase at the adult stage (to about 620 sensilla/mm”). Experimental manipulations of juvenile hormone (JH) activity result in either supernumerary larval instars (induced by unilateral antennecto...
