Mutations of the Drosophila myosin regulatory light chain affect courtship song and reduce reproductive success.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila indirect flight muscles (IFM) rely on an enhanced stretch-activation response to generate high power output for flight. The IFM is neurally activated during the male courtship song, but its role, if any, in generating the small amplitude wing vibrations that produce the song is not known. Here, we examined the courtship song properties and mating behavior of three mutant strains of the myosin...
