Knockout mutations of insulin-like peptide genes enhance sexual receptivity in Drosophila virgin females.

Genes & genetic systems - 1 Jan 2016

Watanabe Kazuki, Sakai Takaomi

Abstract excerpt

In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, females take the initiative to mate successfully because they decide whether to mate or not. However, little is known about the molecular and neuronal mechanisms regulating sexual receptivity in virgin females. Genetic tools available in Drosophila are useful for identifying molecules and neural circuits involved in the regulation of sexual receptivity. We previously...
