Male Development Time Influences the Strength of Wolbachia-Induced Cytoplasmic Incompatibility Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Genetics | October 1, 2007| | Copyright

ABSTRACT

Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most widespread reproductive modification induced in insects by the maternally inherited intracellular bacteria, Wolbachia. Expression of CI in Drosophila melanogaster is quite variable. Published papers typically show that CI expression is weak and often varies between different Drosophila lines and different labs reporting the results. The basis for this variability is not well understood but is often considered to be due to unspecified host genotype interactions with Wolbachia. Here, we show that male development time can greatly influence ...
