“…Sexual attraction and perception are crucial for mating and reproductive success. In Drosophila melanogaster, the male-specific isoform of Fruitless (Fru), Fru(M), is a known master neuro-regulator of innate courtship behavior to control the perception of sex pheromones in sensory neurons. …”

“…We investigated the effect of temperature on individual-level behavioural variation and metabolism in adult male and female Drosophila melanogaster (n = 129), by taking repeated measures of locomotor activity and metabolic rate at both a standard temperature (25°C) and a high temperature (28°C). …”

“…This study found that Lipin is localized almost in the cytoplasm of neurons in the brain lobe and ventral nerve cord, which are part of the central nervous system (CNS) of Drosophila melanogaster. Lipin knockdown larvae exhibit decreased locomotor activity, aberrant morphology of motor nerve terminals at NMJs, and reduced number and size of lipid droplets in the CNS. …”

“…To shed light on this question, we used recently developed single-cell live imaging tools to dissect the regulation of Fushi tarazu (Ftz) in Drosophila melanogaster embryos. Ftz is a transcription factor that is expressed in asymmetric stripes by two distinct enhancers: autoregulatory and zebra. …”

“…To understand the origins of this variation, we have investigated the genetic basis of resistance to the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina boulardi in Drosophila melanogaster. We found that increased expression of the gene lectin-24A after infection by parasitic wasps was associated with a faster cellular immune response and greatly increased rates of killing the parasite. lectin-24A encodes a protein that is strongly up-regulated in the fat body after infection and localizes to the surface of the parasite egg. …”

“…Furthermore, it remains unknown whether mitonuclear epistasis is involved only in the immediate responses to changes in diet, or whether mitonuclear genotype might modulate sensitivity to variation in parental nutrition, to shape intergenerational fitness responses. Here, in Drosophila melanogaster, we show that mitonuclear epistasis shapes fitness responses to variation in dietary lipids and amino acids. …”

“…In order to assess the physiological effects generated by the GTEs, we developed a translational nutrition model based on Drosophila melanogaster and Cyprinus carpio. The results indicate that GTEs could influence, to a variable extent, viability and ATP synthesis, even though both are dependent on the specific carbohydrate load of the applied diet and the amino acid and polyphenol pools provided by the GTEs. …”

“…Using an odorant binding protein, we capture airborne ligands and transfer them to an olfactory receptor from Drosophila melanogaster (OR22a) complex embedded in the lipid membrane, reproducing the complete olfaction process in which a ligand is captured from air and transported across an aqueous reservoir by an odorant binding protein and finally triggers a ligand-gated ion channel embedded in a lipid bilayer, providing direct evidence for ligand capture and olfactory receptor triggering facilitated by odorant binding proteins. …”
