Abstract excerpt
The role of dopamine (DA) is investigated in cuticular hydrocarbon biosynthesis in Drosophila melanogaster with three different approaches: use of DA-deficient mutants (dopa decarboxylase temperature sensitive mutants reared at restrictive temperature, and rescued by dopamine ingestion or by pale mutants partially rescued by a tyrosine hydroxylase construction), pharmacological treatments (tyrosine hydroxylase...
