Central Brain Neurons Expressing doublesex Regulate Female Receptivity in Drosophila
SummaryDrosophila melanogaster females respond to male courtship by either rejecting the male or allowing copulation. The neural mechanisms underlying these female behaviors likely involve the integration of sensory information in the brain.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Runaway evolution of the male-specific exon of the doublesex gene in Diptera [PDF]
In Diptera (Insecta), alternatively spliced male-specific and female-specific products of the doublesex (dsx) gene play a key role in regulating development of the adult genital structures from the genital disc. Analysis of the pattern of nucleotide substitution of different domains of the dsx gene in 29 dipteran species showed that, over short ...

EXPRESSION PROFILE OF THE BATESIAN MIMICRY GENE DOUBLESEX IN THE BUTTERFLY SPECIES PAPILIO LOWI [PDF]
Sexually dimorphic female-limited Batesian mimicry is known to be present in butterflies of the genus Papilio. The sex differentiation transcription factor doublsex (dsx) has been shown to act as the mimetic switch in Papilio polytes, and aspects of its ...

A homologue of the doublesex gene (Bddsx) has been cloned from the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). Northern analysis indicates a differential expression of Bddsx in male and female flies, as reported for other dsx genes.

Looking under the lamp post: neither fruitless nor doublesex has evolved to generate divergent male courtship in Drosophila [PDF]
International audienceHow do evolved genetic changes alter the nervous system to produce different patterns of behavior? We address this question using Drosophila male courtship behavior, which is innate, stereotyped, and evolves rapidly between species.

Bactrocera fruit flies are ranked among the most destructive pests of the worldwide fruit and vegetable trades. Coding regions of two oligomerization domains within doublesex (dsx) genes were determined in Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit fly) and B ...
