Sterility and hypermutability in the P-M system of hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster.
Inbred wild strains of Drosophila melanogaster derived from the central and eastern United States were used to make dysgenic hybrids in the P-M system. These strains possessed P elements and the P cytotype, the condition that represses P element transposition. Their hybrids were studied for the mutability of the P element insertion mutation, snw, and for the incidence of gonadal dysgenesis (GD)...
متن کاملHybrid Dysgenesis in DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER: Factors Affecting Chromosomal Contamination in the P-M System.
The two interacting components of the P-M system of hybrid dysgenesis are chromosomally associated elements called P factors and a susceptible cytoplasmic state referred to as M cytotype. Previous experiments have indicated that P factors are a family of multiple-copy transposable genetic elements dispersed throughout the genome of P strains but absent in long-established M strains.-Evidence is...
متن کاملChromosomal effects on mutability in the P-M system of hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster.
Two manifestations of hybrid dysgenesis were studied in flies with chromosomes derived from two different P strains. In one set of experiments, the occurrence of recessive X-linked lethal mutations in the germ cells of dysgenic males was monitored. In the other, the behavior of an X-linked P-element insertion mutation, snw, was studied in dysgenic males and also in dysgenic females. The chromos...
متن کاملCellular aspects of gonadal atrophy in P-M hybrid dysgenesis
Gonadal atrophy is the most typical and dramatic manifestation of intraspecific hybrid dysgenesis syndrome leading to sterility of Drosophila melanogaster dysgenic progeny. The PM system of hybrid dysgenesis is primarily associated with germ cell degeneration during the early stages of Drosophila development at elevated temperatures. In the present study, we have defined the phase of germ cell ...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of the P-M gonadal dysgenesis cline in eastern Australian Drosophila melanogaster.
The latitudinal cline in P-M gonadal dysgenesis potential in eastern Australia has been shown to comprise three regions which are, from north to south respectively, P, Q, and M, with the P-to-Q and Q-to-M transitions occurring over relatively short distances. The P element complements of 30 lines from different regions of the cline were determined by molecular techniques. The total amount of P ...
