Male sexual signaling is defective in mutants of the apterous gene of Drosophila melanogaster.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 1992

Ringo J, Werczberger R, Segal D

Abstract excerpt

The apterous (ap) gene of Drosophila melanogaster exhibits extreme pleiotrophy: its functioning is essential for life, normal wing structure, juvenile hormone production, female fertility, and normal development of female sexual receptivity. Four mutant ap alleles (ap4, ap56f, apc, and apblt) were characterized for three additional phenotypes: male mating success, courtship behavior, and immature male sex appeal...
