Description

The male-specific products of the fruitless (fru) gene are pivotal to the emergence of male sexual behavior in Drosophila. In this study, Goodwin and colleagues show that the alternatively spliced fru isoforms act on different neuronal substrates to regulate both developmental and physiological processes and thus offer separable mechanisms for control of male sexual behavior.

The emergence of the discipline of geobiology—the study of how organisms have influenced, and been influenced by, the Earth’s environment—is bringing biologists and geologists together to address key questions regarding the evolution of the Earth and the evolution of life on Earth.

Recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism of action of the plant hormone auxin have revealed that the interplay between auxin signalling and the active transport of auxin through the plant creates dynamic patterns of auxin accumulation; these patterns in turn trigger diverse, context-dependent growth and differentiation responses.
