Photoperiod-sensitive developmental delay in facet mutants of the drosophilid fly, Chymomyza costata and the genetic interaction with timeless.
Previously, we demonstrated that the biological clock gene, timeless (tim), is potentially involved in photoperiodic diapause induction in the larvae of the drosophilid fly Chymomyza costata. Suppression of tim transcription was inevitably associated with the loss of diapause induction even under diapause-promoting short-day conditions. In the present paper, I report a novel gene, facet (fa), w...
متن کاملHyperprolinemic larvae of the drosophilid fly, Chymomyza costata, survive cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen.
The larva of the drosophilid fly, Chymomyza costata, is probably the most complex metazoan organism that can survive submergence in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C) in a fully hydrated state. We examined the associations between the physiological and biochemical parameters of differently acclimated larvae and their freeze tolerance. Entering diapause is an essential and sufficient prerequisite for att...
متن کاملEffects of temperature and photoperiod on the termination of larval diapause in Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
Larvae of the blow fly, Lucilia sericata (Meigen), enter diapause in the third instar after cessation of feeding. The effects of temperature and photoperiod on the termination of diapause were examined. The diapause terminated spontaneously under the diapause-inducing condition of 20 degrees C and LD 12:12, although pupariation was not synchronous. Diapause development proceeded under a low tem...
متن کاملPhotoperiodic plasticity in circadian clock neurons in insects
Since Bünning's observation of circadian rhythms and photoperiodism in the runner bean Phaseolus multiflorus in 1936, many studies have shown that photoperiodism is based on the circadian clock system. In insects, involvement of circadian clock genes or neurons has been recently shown in the photoperiodic control of developmental arrests, diapause. Photoperiod sets peaks of period (per) or time...
متن کاملMalathion Resistance in Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Malathion resistance developed in a Drosophila melanogaster population that has been exposed to malathion for almost 20 years. Genetic analyses showed that malathion resistance in this population is under control of several genes that are located on the first, second and third chromosome. The second chromosome contributes the most to resistance; the factor(s) involved may be (partly) dominant o...
