The white gene controls copulation success in Drosophila melanogaster.

Scientific reports - 9 Aug 2017

Xiao Chengfeng, Qiu Shuang, Robertson R Meldrum

Abstract excerpt

Characteristics of male courtship behavior in Drosophila melanogaster have been well-described, but the genetic basis of male-female copulation is largely unknown. Here we show that the white (w) gene, a classical gene for eye color, is associated with copulation success. 82.5% of wild-type Canton-S flies copulated within 60 minutes in circular arenas, whereas few white-eyed mutants mated successfully. The w +...
