Mutations at the Darkener of Apricot locus modulate pheromone production and sex behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.

Journal of insect physiology - 1 Apr 2017

Fumey Julien, Wicker-Thomas Claude

Abstract excerpt

Mutations at the Darkener of Apricot (Doa) locus of Drosophila melanogaster alter sexual differentiation by disrupting sex-specific splicing of doublesex pre-mRNA, a key regulator of sex determination. Here, we study the effect of seven Doa alleles and several trans-heterozygous combinations on pheromones and courtship behavior. The cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile was slightly masculinized in females, with an...
