Behavioral characterization and genetic analysis of the Drosophila melanogaster larval response to light as revealed by a novel individual assay.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jan 2000

Hassan J, Busto M, Iyengar B, Campos A R

Abstract excerpt

A new assay was designed, named checker, that measures the individual response to light in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster larva. In this assay the Drosophila larva apparently modulates its pattern of locomotion when faced with a choice between a dark and lit environment by orienting its movement towards the dark environment. We show that, in this assay, a response to light can be measured as an increase in...
