Fruitless RNAi knockdown in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, influences male fertility.

Journal of insect physiology - 1 Feb 2012

Boerjan Bart, Tobback Julie, Vandersmissen Hans Peter, Huybrechts Roger, Schoofs Liliane

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster, the male-specific splice isoform of the fruitless gene (Fru(M)) encodes a set of transcription factors that are involved in the regulation of male courtship and copulation. Recent insights from non-drosophilid insects suggest a conserved evolutionary role for the transcription factor Fruitless. In the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria and the German cockroach, Blatella germanica,...
