The dynamics of Drosophila melanogaster spermatogenesis in in vitro cultures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A photographic description of meiosis and spermatogenesis in single sperm cysts of Drosophila melanogaster cultured in vitro is presented. In addition to the utility of this description for the study of spermatogenesis in whole live testes, the culture procedure provides a means for studying the dynamic development of individual sperm cysts from flies carrying male-sterile mutations, as illustrated with X/O males. Several deviations of spermatogenesis in vitro from that in vivo suggest that sperm morphogenesis is not rigidly coordinated.

Background: In this study, the toxicity of the different xenobiotics was tested on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster model system. Methods: Fly larvae were raised on food supplemented with xenobioticsat different concentrations (sodium nitroprusside (0.1-1.5 mM), S-nitrosoglutathione (0.5-4 mM), and potassium ferrocyanide (1 mM)). Emergence of flies, food intake by larvae, and pupation h...

Introduction: Pain research using animal models is related to ethical concerns, so invertebrates and insects have been recommended by researchers. In the present study, the nociceptive and antinociceptive effects of capsaicin, aspirin, morphine and chili extract were examined using fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as an alternative for rodent pain model. Methods: Stage 3 of larvae and ad...
