Abstract excerpt
Over a 4-day period of development, Drosophila larvae undergo a roughly 1,000-fold increase in mass. This impressive growth requires a continuous source of dietary protein; in the absence of amino acids, growth is arrested and various larval tissues display characteristic cell-cycle, metabolic, and structural changes. Mutations in the Drosophila target of rapamycin (dTOR) gene result in strikingly similar...
