Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny.

Andrew G. Clark, +429 more
- 08 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cost of mating in Drosophila melanogaster females is mediated by male accessory gland products

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that seminal fluid products from the main cells of the male accessory gland are responsible for the cost of mating in females, and that increasing exposure to these products increases female death rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insect seminal fluid proteins: identification and function.

TL;DR: Recent identification of insect SFPs is reviewed and the multiple roles these proteins play in the postmating processes of female insects are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tokens of love: functions and regulation of Drosophila male accessory gland products.

TL;DR: These studies provide excellent models to address basic questions in cell biology such as the control of genes in response to sex-specific, mating-regulated and cell type-specific cues and the function and targeting of peptide hormones.
Journal ArticleDOI

The sex peptide of Drosophila melanogaster: female post-mating responses analyzed by using RNA interference.

TL;DR: RNA interference was used to suppress SP expression, to determine whether SP is required to elicit full post-mating responses, the magnitude of responses due to other seminal fluid components, and whether SP accounts for the “sperm effect.”
