A novel assay reveals hygrotactic behavior in Drosophila.

Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we show that grazing by larval fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster , induces resistance in the filamentous mould, Aspergillus nidulans ,

Experiments performed in a second strain of wild-type RC1 flies, which carry the wild type w allele, yield similar data to the Iso31 strain, which carry the w 1118 allele

We studied the yeast communities associated with fruits, mushrooms, tree exudates, and flies of the genus Drosophila , in two Atlantic Rain Forest fragments in state of Minas

However, the fluorescence signal was lower than that observed with WT aSyn, suggesting differences in the dimerization/ oligomerization process (** p < 0.01) (Fig. 3b), since

drastic changes from normal epimastigote morphology in axenic cultures were observed in these transfectants (Fig. 3B, panel i) but not in wild type parasites, which were cultured

The CHIP assay demonstrated that DMS3 occupancy at RdDM loci including IGN5, IGN22, and IGN25 is significantly reduced in suvh2suvh9 relative to the wild type (Figure 5B),

In hyperoxia, rapamycin improves the survival of FRDA flies (C) and increases the aconitase activity (D). The addition of 3-MA abolishes these effects in model flies, highlighting

Assaying bacterial load post-infection in wild-type and mutant flies, we provide evi- dence that the Boms are required for resistance to, rather than tolerance of, infection..
