Abstract excerpt
The link between reproduction and environmental signals is poorly understood at the physiological, genetic and molecular levels. We describe a mutant strain of Drosophila virilis that has altered responses to heat stress. Heat stress in wild-type females results in oocyte maturation delays, degradation of early vitellogenic egg chambers, inhibition of yolk protein gene expression in follicle cells and...
