Transcriptional Differences between Diapausing and Non-Diapausing D. montana Females Reared under the Same Photoperiod and Temperature
BACKGROUND A wide range of insects living at higher latitudes enter diapause at the end of the warm season, which increases their chances of survival through harsh winter conditions. In this study we used RNA sequencing to identify genes involved in adult reproductive diapause in a northern fly species, Drosophila montana. Both diapausing and non-diapausing flies were reared under a critical da...
متن کاملSeasonal gene expression kinetics between diapause phases in Drosophila virilis group species and overwintering differences between diapausing and non-diapausing females
Most northern insect species experience a period of developmental arrest, diapause, which enables them to survive over the winter and postpone reproduction until favorable conditions. We studied the timing of reproductive diapause and its long-term effects on the cold tolerance of Drosophila montana, D. littoralis and D. ezoana females in seasonally varying environmental conditions. At the same...
متن کاملDrosophila americana Diapausing Females Show Features Typical of Young Flies
Diapause is a period of arrested development which is controlled physiologically, preprogrammed environmentally and characterized by metabolic depression that can occur during any stage of insect development. Nevertheless, in the genus Drosophila, diapause is almost always associated with the cessation of ovarian development and reproductive activity in adult females. In this work, we show that...
متن کاملComparative studies of oxidative enzyme systems in epidermis and fat body of diapausing and non-diapausing silkmoths.
The activities of four oxidative enzyme systems, including NADH oxidase, succinate-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, and cytochrome c oxidase, were compared in mitochondrial-microsomal preparations from wing epidermis and fat body of diapausing Samia Cynthia pupae, presumptively non-diapausing S. Cynthia ricini pupae which were caused to diapause by removal of the brain, and ...
متن کاملEffect of Cold Acclimation on Cold Tolerance of Laboratory-reared Diapausing Pink Bollworms
Environ. EntoIDo!. 7: 633-635 (1978) Cold acclimation and cold tolerance were studied in laboratory-reared diapausing pink bollworms, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders), conditioned at 5°, 10°, and 15° C for 2,4, and 8 wk. Larval mortality, abnormal pupation and total mortality from 2-h exposure to sub-zero temperatures increased similarly as the temperature decreased from _6° to -15° C. Expos...
