Sex determination gene transformer regulates the male-female difference in Drosophila fat storage via the adipokinetic hormone pathway

L. W. Wat, Z. S. Chowdhury, J. W. Millington…·E. J. Rideout

The paper identifies transformer as a key gene regulating sex differences in fat storage in Drosophila by modulating the adipokinetic hormone pathway in neurons.

A low sugar diet enhances Drosophila body size in males and females via sex-specific mechanisms

J. W. Millington, L. W. Wat, Z. Sun…·E. J. Rideout

This study shows that a low sugar diet increases body size in both male and female Drosophila larvae, but affects their insulin/TOR signaling and metabolism differently.

Female-specific upregulation of insulin pathway activity mediates the sex difference in Drosophila body size plasticity

J. W. Millington, C. Chao, Z. Sun…·E. J. Rideout

The paper identifies a female-specific increase in insulin pathway activity as the mechanism behind sex differences in nutrient-dependent body size plasticity in Drosophila.
