High-NaCl perception in Drosophila melanogaster.
Salt is a fundamental nutrient that is required for many physiological processes, including electrolyte homeostasis and neuronal activity. In mammals and Drosophila, the detection of NaCl induces two different behaviors: low-salt concentrations provide an attractive stimulus, whereas high-salt concentrations are avoided. We identified the gene called serrano (sano) as being expressed in the sen...
متن کاملTolerance adaptation of Drosophila melanogaster to increased salt concentration due to new beneficial mutations
Mutation and selection are major evolutionary forces that help organisms to adapt to novel environments. Although numerous laboratory experiments with model organisms and observations from nature have demonstrated adaptations to new environmental conditions, it is difficult to distinguish whether adaptation has occurred due to new beneficial mutation or by selection on preexisting genetic varia...
متن کاملMutations of Drosophila melanogaster that affect muscles.
Eight X-chromosome mutations (falling into five complementation groups) that affect the development and morphology of the indirect flight muscles of Drosophila melanogaster were investigated using histological, behavioural and genetic techniques. All of these mutations result in flightlessness, in a marked reduction in the ability of the flies to jump, and in the wings being held in abnormal po...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides increase tolerance to oxidant stress in Drosophila melanogaster.
It is well appreciated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are deleterious to mammals, including humans, especially when generated in abnormally large quantities from cellular metabolism. Whereas the mechanisms leading to the production of ROS are rather well delineated, the mechanisms underlying tissue susceptibility or tolerance to oxidant stress remain elusive. Through an experimental selecti...
متن کاملOrganically Grown Food Provides Health Benefits to Drosophila melanogaster
The "organic food" market is the fastest growing food sector, yet it is unclear whether organically raised food is nutritionally superior to conventionally grown food and whether consuming organic food bestows health benefits. In order to evaluate potential health benefits of organic foods, we used the well-characterized fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model system. Fruit flies were rais...
