Transcription profiling of Drosophila melanogaster adult females selected for resistance to various environmental stressors

ABSTRACT: A study evaluating the effect of stress resistance selection of Drosophila melanogaster. Abstract; Here, we report a detailed analysis of changes in gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster selected for multiple ecologically relevant environmental stress resistance traits. We analyzed females from three biological replicates from seven selection regimes and one control regime using whole genome gene expression arrays. Replicated selection lines were selected for resistance to acute heat survival, high temperature knock down, constant 30 degress C during development, cold shock survival, desiccation and starvation, respectively. Additionally, a set of replicated lines was selected for increased longevity. When compared to gene expression profiles of control lines, we were able to detect c
