publisher: Nova Science Publishers, published: 2011-09 ASIN: 1614702799 EAN: 9781614702795 sales rank: 2704389 Drosophila melanogaster is a species of Diptera, or the order of flies, in the family Drosophilidae. This species is one of the most commonly used model organisms in biology, including studies in genetics, physiology, microbial pathogenesis and life history evolution because they are easy to take care of, breed quickly and lay many eggs. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of drosophila melanogaster including: the gametogenesis, embryonic and post-embryonic development of drosophila melanogaster; the significance of stellate genes in drosophila melanogaster; the evolution of drosophila melanogaster retroviruses and the morphogenesis of drosophila melanogaster macrochaetes. |

publisher: Academic Press, published: 2009-11-12 ASIN: 0123747929 EAN: 9780123747921 sales rank: 3350431 Extensive studies have been conducted on various parasitoid species, and almost all different approaches of the biology of parasitoids have been, at least once, studied on parasitoids of Drosophila. Originally, this particular interest for species parasitizing Drosophila hosts has been motivated by the exceptional knowledge we have on Drosophila species themselves, and particularly on D. melanogaster. Benefiting from this knowledge, the research conducted on Drosophila parasitoids have covered very diversified topics, such as physiological and immunity relationships with hosts, reproduction strategies, the role of symbiotic micro-organisms, behavioural and chemical ecology, genetics, population dynamics, evolutionary biology, the different approaches of which including field surveys and laboratory experiments. As a result, we now benefit from a particularly vast and extended knowledge of the biology (and also biochemistry, molecular genetics, .) of these parasitoid species mainly belonging to Braconidae and Cynipidae Hymenoptera, and of their relationships with their Drosophila hosts. Extensive studies have been conducted on various parasitoid species, and almost all different approaches of the biology of parasitoids have been, at least once, studied on parasitoids of Drosophila. There is This book synthesizes the different fields of research that can be explored thanks to the "Drosophila parasitoid" model. It shows how the complementary knowledge arising from different approaches is inspiring the development of new areas of research on this biological model. It will also report techniques and methods specifically adapted to the study of larval parasitoid species. |

publisher: Springer, published: 2008-03-28 ASIN: 0387782605 EAN: 9780387782607 sales rank: 2338388 The central nervous system (CNS) represents the organ with the highest structural and functional complexity. Accordingly, uncovering the mechanisms leading to cell diversity, patterning and connectivity in the CNS is one of the major challenges in developmental biology. The developing CNS of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster is an ideal model system to study these processes. Several principle questions regarding neurogenesis (like stem cell formation, cell fate specification, axonal pathfinding) have been addressed in Drosophila by focusing on the relatively simply structured truncal parts of the nervous system. However, information processing (e.g., vision, olfaction), behavior, learning and memory require highly specialized structures, which are located in the brain. Owing to much higher complexity and hidden segmental organisation our understanding of brain development is still quite rudimentary. Considerable advances have been made recently in bringing the resolution of brain structures to the level of individual cells and their lineages, which significantly facilitates investigations into the mechanisms controlling brain development. This book provides an overview of some major facets of recent research on Drosophila brain development. |

publisher: Academic Press, published: 1999-04-20 ASIN: 0123668433 EAN: 9780123668431 sales rank: 6861796 Neuromuscular Junctions in Drosophila gathers the main contributions that research using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has made in the area of synapse development, synapse physiology, and excitability of muscles and nerve cells. The chapters in this book represent a synthesis of major advances in our understanding of neuronal development and synaptic physiology, which have been obtained using the above approach. This book is directed to the general neuroscience audience: researchers, instructors, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates who are interested in the mechanisms of synapse development and physiology. However, the book will also be a valuable resource for those that use the fruit fly as a model system in their laboratories. Key Features * Synthesizes the genetic approaches used to study synaptic development and function at the neuromuscular junction, using flies as a model system * Covers major recent advances in muscle development, pathfinding, synapse maturation and plasticity, exo- and endocytosis, and ion channel function * Written in clear language that is easily understandable to readers not already familiar with fruit fly research * Includes numerous diagrams and extensive reference lists |

publisher: Humana Press, published: 2003-11-04 ASIN: 1588290506 EAN: 9781588290502 sales rank: 2926846 Leading drosophilists describe in step-by-step detail all the essential techniques for studying Drosophila chromosomes and suggest new avenues for scientific exploration. The chapters emphasize specimen preparation (from dissection to mounting) and cover both polytene and mitotic/meiotic chromosomes in depth. Each fully tested and readily reproducible protocol offers a background introduction, equipment and reagent lists, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding pitfalls. A cutting-edge FISH and immunolocalization technique will be important for discovering how DNA sequence influences higher-order chromosome architecture and ultimately gene expression. |
