Bontonou G, Denis B, Wicker-Thomas C
J Evol Biol
. 2013 Aug;
26(9):2008-20.
PMID: 23944628
In Drosophila, female hydrocarbons are known to be involved in premating isolation between different species and pheromonal races. The role of male-specific hydrocarbon polymorphism is not as well documented. The...

Heredity (Edinb)
. 2009 Aug;
103(5):416-24.
PMID: 19654611
The genetics of sexual isolation, behavioral differences between species that prevent mating, is understood poorly. Pheromonal differences between species can influence sexual isolation in many animals and in some cases...

Chertemps T, Duportets L, Labeur C, Ueyama M, Wicker-Thomas C
Insect Mol Biol
. 2006 Aug;
15(4):465-73.
PMID: 16907833
Drosophila melanogaster shows sexually dimorphic cuticular hydrocarbons, with monoenes produced in males and dienes produced in females. Here we describe a female-specific desaturase gene, desatF. RNAi knock-down led to a...

Wicker-Thomas C, Jallon J
Genet Res
. 2002 Feb;
78(3):235-42.
PMID: 11865713
We have investigated the role of the Antennapedia and Bithorax complexes (ANT-C and BX-C) on the production of cuticular hydrocarbons in Drosophila melanogaster. In males, there is little, if any,...

Dallerac R, Labeur C, Jallon J, Knipple D, Roelofs W, Wicker-Thomas C
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2000 Aug;
97(17):9449-54.
PMID: 10920187
Drosophila melanogaster cuticular pheromones consist of unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one double bond in position 7: 7 tricosene (T) in males and 7,11 heptacosadiene (HD) in females. However, in...

Naturwissenschaften
. 2000 Feb;
87(2):76-9.
PMID: 10663138
In a search for genes controlling the production of Drosophila melanogaster contact pheromones, the gene Enhancer of zeste [E(z)] was found to be one player. Flies mutant for either the...

Coyne J, Wicker-Thomas C, Jallon J
Genet Res
. 1999 Jul;
73(3):189-203.
PMID: 10425916
Drosophila melanogaster is polymorphic for the major cuticular hydrocarbon of females. In most populations this hydrocarbon is 7,11-heptacosadiene, but females from Africa and the Caribbean usually possess low levels of...

Insect Biochem Mol Biol
. 1998 Mar;
27(11):963-72.
PMID: 9501419
The open reading frame of a gene encoding a protein homologous to vertebrate fatty acid desaturases has been characterized in Drosophila melanogaster. This is the first description of a desaturase...
