Prospero mutants induce precocious sexual behavior in Drosophila males.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2007

Grosjean Yaël, Guenin Laure, Bardet Henri-Marc, Ferveur Jean-François

Abstract excerpt

Brain maturation, a developmental process influenced by both endogenous and environmental factors, can affect sexual behavior. In vertebrates and invertebrates, sexual maturation is under the influence of hormones and neuromodulators, but the role of developmental genes in this process is still poorly understood. We report that prospero (pros), a gene crucial for nervous system development, can change the age of...
