Encapsulation of Parasitoid Eggs in Iphenoloxidase-deficient Mutants of Drosophila Melanogaster
Eggs of the parasitoid Leptopilina boulardi, strain L104, are routinely encapsulated by haemocytes in C’rosophila melanogaster larvae, and the capsules subsequently melanize. In D. melanogaster mutant strains deficient for phenoloxidase activity, L104 eggs are encapsulated by host haemocytes but the cellular capsules do not melanize and harden. These observations suggest that phenoloxidases are...
متن کاملTranscriptional profiling of apoptosis-deficient Drosophila mutants
Apoptosis is a fundamental way to remove damaged or unwanted cells during both developmental and post-developmental stages. Apoptosis deficiency leads to various diseases including cancer. To know the physiological changes in apoptosis-deficient mutants, we conducted non-biased transcriptomic analysis of Drosophila dark(cd4) mutants. As recently reported, combined with metabolome and genetic an...
متن کاملToxicological Evaluation of a New Lepidopteran Insecticide, Flubendiamide, in Non-Target Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Background: Flubendiamide, comparatively a new pesticide designed to eradicate lepidopteran insect pests is known to have low risk to birds, mammals, fish, algae, honey bees, non-target arthropods, earthworms, soil macro- and micro-organisms, non-target plants as well as sewage treatment organisms; however, the risk assessment for aquatic invertebrates from metabolite could not be finalized wit...
متن کاملParameters of mitotic recombination in minute mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.
A sample of 16 Minutes, representing 12 loci distributed over all the chromosome arms and including 3 pairs of alleles and 4 deficiencies, has been studied with respect to several developmental and recombinational parameters. Cell marker mutants located in most of the chromosome arms were used to assess (1) spontaneous and X-ray-induced mitotic recombination frequencies of each Minute, and (2) ...
متن کاملIsolation of larval behavioral mutants in Drosophila melanogaster.
Genetic loci that influence behavior are often difficult to identify and localize in part due to the quantitative nature of behavioral phenotypes. Previous studies had found an association between pupal lethality and altered larval behavior for mutants of several genes. To facilitate the identification and localization of new mutants that influence larval foraging (movement in the presence of f...
