Female sexual receptivity is defective in juvenile hormone-deficient mutants of the apterous gene of Drosophila melanogaster.

Behavior genetics - 1 Sept 1991

Ringo J, Werczberger R, Altaratz M, Segal D

Abstract excerpt

During reproductive maturation of female insects, the acquisition of sexual receptivity is coordinated with ovarian development. Juvenile hormone regulates vitellogenesis in the ovaries, but the action of this hormone in the development of sexual behavior is less well-understood. A strain of Drosophila melanogaster carrying a mutation in the apterous gene (ap4) was known to exhibit arrested vitellogenesis...
