Genetic control of male cuticular hydrocarbons in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetical research - 1 Jun 1996

Ferveur J F, Jallon J M

Abstract excerpt

7-tricosene (7-T) and 7-pentacosene (7-P) are the two main hydrocarbons on the cuticle of male Drosophila melanogaster. These two substances might play a pheromonal role during courtship behaviour. We investigated the genetic basis of the quantitative polymorphism observed in the production of 7-T and 7-P. Strains of different geographic origin, with males producing either predominantly 7-T or predominantly 7-P,...
