Genetic control of pheromones in Drosophila simulans. I. Ngbo, a locus on the second chromosome.

Genetics - 1 Jun 1991

Ferveur J F

Abstract excerpt

7-Tricosene and 7-pentacosene are predominant hydrocarbons on the cuticle of both sexes in Drosophila simulans. The pheromonal role of 7-tricosene has been clearly established for conspecific males, while a synergistic effect for 7-pentacosene has been postulated. Interstrain variation for the production of both compounds is very marked, but similar for both sexes. The genetic basis of this polymorphism was...
