Postmating responses depend on genome background in Drosophila melanogaster strains homoallelic for sex peptide.

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypic response of gene alleles can be influenced by environmental conditions and genome background. Although progress has been made focusing on polymorphisms at major-effect genes, our understanding of how genome background modulates phenotypic expression remains limited. To address this, we focus on two female postmating responses-egg laying and remating rate, both primarily triggered by sex peptide...
