Seasonal gene expression kinetics between diapause phases in Drosophila virilis group species and overwintering differences between diapausing and non-diapausing females
Most northern insect species experience a period of developmental arrest, diapause, which enables them to survive over the winter and postpone reproduction until favorable conditions. We studied the timing of reproductive diapause and its long-term effects on the cold tolerance of Drosophila montana, D. littoralis and D. ezoana females in seasonally varying environmental conditions. At the same...
متن کاملTranscriptional Differences between Diapausing and Non-Diapausing D. montana Females Reared under the Same Photoperiod and Temperature
BACKGROUND A wide range of insects living at higher latitudes enter diapause at the end of the warm season, which increases their chances of survival through harsh winter conditions. In this study we used RNA sequencing to identify genes involved in adult reproductive diapause in a northern fly species, Drosophila montana. Both diapausing and non-diapausing flies were reared under a critical da...
متن کاملDrosophila americana Diapausing Females Show Features Typical of Young Flies
Diapause is a period of arrested development which is controlled physiologically, preprogrammed environmentally and characterized by metabolic depression that can occur during any stage of insect development. Nevertheless, in the genus Drosophila, diapause is almost always associated with the cessation of ovarian development and reproductive activity in adult females. In this work, we show that...

متن کاملConservation of structure and expression of the trithorax gene between Drosophila virilis and Drosophila melanogaster
The Drosophila melanogaster trithorax gene encodes several large RNAs which are expressed in complex patterns in the embryo. The D. virilis trithorax gene was isolated and sequenced. It produces a similar to D. melanogaster set of transcripts, and it encodes a protein that shows sequence similarity in several domains which are also conserved in human homologue, ALL-1/HRX. Previous experiments h...
