Non-Mendelian Inheritance of "Heat-Sensitivity" in DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-Mendelian inheritance was revealed for the "heat-sensitivity" character of the poikilothermic insect Drosophila melanogaster. Genetic analyses were performed on heat-sensitive (S, S(1)) strains, derived through indirect selection, and on stocks constructed through extensive chromosomal and cytoplasmic substitutions between strains obtained from two replicate cage populations. The populations were kept for about 7 years under different temperatures (14 degrees -25 degrees ) and exhibited different survival. We conclude that the character studied is quantitative, responds to selection pressure and is transmitted through the maternal cytoplasm, while nuclear genes modify its expression.

Introduction: Pain research using animal models is related to ethical concerns, so invertebrates and insects have been recommended by researchers. In the present study, the nociceptive and antinociceptive effects of capsaicin, aspirin, morphine and chili extract were examined using fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as an alternative for rodent pain model. Methods: Stage 3 of larvae and ad...

Background: In this study, the toxicity of the different xenobiotics was tested on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster model system. Methods: Fly larvae were raised on food supplemented with xenobioticsat different concentrations (sodium nitroprusside (0.1-1.5 mM), S-nitrosoglutathione (0.5-4 mM), and potassium ferrocyanide (1 mM)). Emergence of flies, food intake by larvae, and pupation h...

We performed a systematic analysis of 929 human disease gene entries associated with at least one mutant allele in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database against the recently completed genome sequence of Drosophila melanogaster. The results of this search have been formatted as an updateable and searchable on-line database called Homophila. Our analysis identified 714 distinct ...

The quick generation time, ease of handling, and wide availability of striking phenotypic mutants makes Drosophila melanogaster a highly attractive system to expose undergraduate and advanced high school students to concepts in genetics. However, it is nevertheless very labor intensive to set up Drosophila for a large scale laboratory exercise in a short period of time. The previously developed...
