QTL for survival to UV-C radiation in Drosophila melanogaster

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate tolerance to UV-C (ultraviolet C, 280-100 nm) radiation in Drosophila melanogaster, implementing a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approach. This is of interest to test for genetic variation in survival to UV (ultraviolet) radiation. Materials...

Conclusions: This study shows substantial genetic variation for UV-C radiation resistance in D. melanogaster, with QTL for survival to UV-C radiation generally overlapping with major thermotolerance QTL. The genetic architecture of UV-C radiation resistance appears to be more complex in continuously irradiated individuals. © 2013 Informa UK, Ltd. Fil:Gomez, F.H. Universidad de Buenos Aires.
