Abstract excerpt
Earlier experiments demonstrated a strong up-regulation of per mRNA in wild-type (Wt) females of Pyrrhocoris apterus reared under diapause-inducing short days, while per mRNA levels were low in females of two non-diapause mutant strains (Nd), irrespective of photoperiod. In the present study, different sequences of per DNA in two strains of geographically different origin enabled us to analyse genetic linkage...
