Genetic elimination of known pheromones reveals the fundamental chemical bases of mating and isolation in Drosophila.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Aug 1999

Abstract excerpt

Overexpression of the UAS-tra transgene in Drosophila melanogaster females led to the complete elimination of their cuticular pheromones. According to current models of Drosophila behavior, these flies should induce no courtship. In fact, they are still attractive to conspecific males. Three classes of stimuli are shown to induce courtship, with different effects on male behavior: (i) known pheromones produced by...
