Genes involved in sex pheromone discrimination in Drosophila melanogaster and their background-dependent effect.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Houot Benjamin, Fraichard Stéphane, Greenspan Ralph J, Ferveur Jean-François

Abstract excerpt

Mate choice is based on the comparison of the sensory quality of potential mating partners, and sex pheromones play an important role in this process. In Drosophila melanogaster, contact pheromones differ between male and female in their content and in their effects on male courtship, both inhibitory and stimulatory. To investigate the genetic basis of sex pheromone discrimination, we experimentally selected...
