fruitless tunes functional flexibility of courtship circuitry during development
eLife, 2021 Drosophila male courtship is controlled by the male-specific products of the fruitless (fruM) gene and its expressing neuronal circuitry. fruM is considered a master gene that controls all aspects of male courtship.

Single-cell transcriptome profiles of Drosophila fruitless-expressing neurons from both sexes
eLife, 2023 Drosophila melanogaster reproductive behaviors are orchestrated by fruitless neurons. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on pupal neurons that produce sex-specifically spliced fru transcripts, the fru P1-expressing neurons.

eLife, 2020 Inter-male aggressive behavior is a prominent sexually dimorphic behavior. Neural circuits that underlie aggressive behavior are therefore likely under the control of sex-determining genes.

eLife, 2020 For successful mating, a male animal must execute effective courtship behaviors toward a receptive target sex, which is female. Whether the courtship execution capability and upregulation of courtship toward females are specified through separable sex ...

Abnormal Pollen Development in the Fragaria vesca Mutant fruitless 1
HortScience, 2023 Knowledge of the genes underlying a given trait is highly useful for developing molecular markers for breeding and is the foundation for future genomic crop improvements. The cultivated strawberry, F. ×ananassa, is a valuable horticultural crop.

GABAergic signaling shapes multiple aspects of Drosophila courtship motor behavior
iScience, 2023 Summary: Inhibitory neurons are essential for orchestrating and structuring behavior. We use one of the best studied behaviors in Drosophila, male courtship, to analyze how inhibitory, GABAergic neurons shape the different steps of this multifaceted ...

Neuropeptide F regulates courtship in Drosophila through a male-specific neuronal circuit
eLife, 2019 Male courtship is provoked by perception of a potential mate. In addition, the likelihood and intensity of courtship are influenced by recent mating experience, which affects sexual drive.

Fruitless mutant male mosquitoes gain attraction to human odor
eLife, 2020 The Aedes aegypti mosquito shows extreme sexual dimorphism in feeding. Only females are attracted to and obtain a blood-meal from humans, which they use to stimulate egg production.
