The Dobzhansky-Muller model proposes that hybrid incompatibilities are caused by the interaction between genes that have functionally diverged in the respective hybridizing species. Here, we show that Lethal hybrid rescue (Lhr) has functionally diverged in Drosophila simulans and interacts with Hybrid male rescue (Hmr), which has functionally diverged in D. melanogaster, to cause lethality in F...

Aberrant production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a common feature damaged retinal neurons in diabetic retinopathy, and antioxidants may exert both preventive therapeutic action. To evaluate the beneficial antioxidant properties food supplementation with Lisosan G, powder bran germ grain (Triticum aestivum) obtained by fermentation selected lactobacillus natural yeast strains, we used an ...

A simple method to distinguish hitchhiking and background selection is proposed. It is based on the observation that these models make different predictions about the average level of nucleotide diversity in regions of low recombination. The method is applied to data from Drosophila melanogaster and two highly selfing tomato species.

Spotted-wing drosophila ( Drosophila suzukii ; SWD) is an invasive pest in the United States that responsible for significant economic damage to soft-skinned fruit and berries worldwide. SWD uses a wide variety of cultivated wild reproduction. Host suitability may depend on physical chemical factors fruit, with positive correlation oviposition larval development generally associated soluble sug...

Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a serious invasive pest of berries and cherries in the U.S. Europe has become major phytosanitary trade barrier. In this pilot study, we explored potential using stand-alone ethyl formate (EF) treatment combinatory EF cold temperature as postharvest control options for D. imported blueberries. Stand-alone fumigations were ...

Nutraceuticals play an essential role in the reduction free radical generation cells. A similar idea was used present study to determine effects of aqueous extracts on organismal toxicities a nontarget organism, Drosophila melanogaster, known as fruit fly. Punica granatum (peel and pulp), Carica papaya (peel), Foeniculum vulgare (seeds), Trigonella foenum-graecum Urtica dioica (leaves) were emp...

The goal of this experiment was to determine the effect Intermediate Metabolic Switching (IMS) diet on short and long-term memory mutant Drosophila due neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity creates new neural networks can be measured in ketone count. IMS includes two components: fasting a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. Phenol-Sulfuric Acid Test Hanus Iodine Solution were both used quantify ratios,...

Abstract The spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, is an insect pest of soft-skinned fruit, native to Eastern Asia. Since 2008, a world-wide dispersal D. seen, characterized by the establishment in many Asian, American and European countries. While potential for invasion continental Africa has been predicted, its presence only shown Morocco Northern Africa. Knowledge about poss...

Spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura) is a major pest of fruit crops with global significance. Effective control reliant on uniformly spraying insecticides all crop foliage. To encourage attraction and ingestion insecticides, phagostimulant baits can be employed in ‘attract kill’ strategies. In semi-field trials, we compared (1) full-field foliar sprays two spinosad cyantranili...
