The advantages that accrue to Drosophila melanogaster possessing larval serum protein 1
1991
Roberts, D.B. | Turing, J.D. | Loughlin, S.A.R.
The survival and fecundity of wild-type Drosophila stocks and stocks lacking the major larval serum protein 1 were compared. Under laboratory conditions and under stress there was no significant difference between the survival of the two stocks. With respect to fecundity however, the wild-type stock was considerably superior, with the mutant stock being only 10% as fecund. This difference in fecundity is attributable to abnormal mating behaviour, a reduction in the number of eggs laid, a reduction in the number of eggs developing and severe abnormalities in the egg structure.
