Enhanced cost of mating in female sterile mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genes & genetic systems - 1 Feb 2003

Ueyama Morio, Fuyama Yoshiaki

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila females, mating is known to cause a reduction in life span, which is referred to as 'the cost of mating'. Since mating enhances oogenesis and oviposition, the cost of mating may be regarded as a trade-off between reproduction and longevity. We examined whether the cost of mating exists in mutant females that are unable to produce eggs. Three different mutant alleles of ovarian tumors (otu) and an...
