Genetics and molecular biology of rhythms in Drosophila and other insects /

Biological rhythms, such as the sleep-wake cycle or circadian clock, are an intriguing aspect of biology. The regulation of daily rhythmicity has long been a mystery, up until the mid-1980's when a key gene in the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, was molecularly identified. Genetic and molecu...

Πίνακας περιεχομένων:
  • Introduction
  • Mutants used to identify cells and tissues that mediate inputs to circadian pacemakers in Drosophila
  • Mutants apparently defective in central-pacemaking functions underlying Drosophila's circadian rhythmicity
  • Additional mutants with defects in daily cycles and other time-based phenotypes
  • Molecular genetics of central-pacemaking functions
  • Places and times of clock-gene expressions
  • Natural variants of clock genes, including interspecific studies
  • Temperature changes and how clock-gene products are involved in compensating for them
  • Molecular genetics of clock resetting by environmental stimuli
  • Gene-defined functions connecting central pacemaking to circadian chronobiology
  • Conclusion.
