Mated Drosophila melanogaster females require a seminal fluid protein, Acp36DE, to store sperm efficiently.
Mated females of many animal species store sperm. Sperm storage profoundly influences the number, timing, and paternity of the female's progeny. To investigate mechanisms for sperm storage in Drosophila melanogaster, we generated and analyzed mutations in Acp36DE. Acp36DE is a male seminal fluid protein whose localization in mated females suggested a role in sperm storage. We report that male-d...
متن کاملNovaluron Causes Reduced Egg Hatch After Treating Adult Codling Moths, Cydia pomenella: Support for Transovarial Transfer
The codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a primary pest of apples throughout the United States. Reliance on broad spectrum organophosphates has been declining with the slated cancellation and has shifted towards narrow spectrum insecticides. Novaluron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor, has primarily been used for its ovicidal and larvacidal activities. However, recent s...
متن کاملA positive correlation between crossing over within heterozygous pericentric inversions and reduced egg hatch of Drosophila females.
XTENSIVE chromosomal polymorphism, probably due to pericentric inverE sions, has been reported in animals as dissimilar as grasshoppers (WHITE 1958) and mice ( OHNO et al. 1966). Inversion polymorphism is also prevalent in natural populations of many Drosophila species, but rarely are the inversions pericentric. The infrequency with which pericentric as compared with paracentric inversions are ...
متن کاملEcdysteroid titers in mated and unmated Drosophila melanogaster females.
Radioimmunoassay was used to determine ecdysteroid titers in mated or unmated Drosophila melanogaster females. Whole-body ecdysteroid titers increase after mating and this response is more pronounced after 12-24 hours than it is immediately after mating. In one experiment, females were mated to transgenic males deficient in accessory gland proteins to test whether these peptides mediate the obs...
متن کاملSexual mimicry regulates the attractiveness of mated Drosophila melanogaster females.
During mating, male Drosophila melanogaster transfer to the female's cuticle a compound (7-tricosene) that is almost absent from virgin females but is the major hydrocarbon component of the male's cuticle. During the first 3 hr after mating, the amount of 7-tricosene on a female decreases sharply but remains significantly above virgin levels. By 6 hr after mating, female synthesis of 7-tricosen...
