The biochemical basis of life history adaptation: molecular and enzymological causes of NADP(+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase activity differences between morphs of Gryllus firmus that differ in lipid biosynthesis and life history.

Abstract excerpt

Although whole-organism aspects of life-history physiology are well studied and molecular information (e.g., transcript abundance) on life-history variation is accumulating rapidly, much less information is available on the biochemical (enzymological) basis of life-history adaptation. The present study investigated the biochemical and molecular causes of specific activity differences of the lipogenic enzyme,...
