Fig. 7From: Diverse biological processes coordinate the transcriptional response to nutritional changes in a Drosophila melanogaster multiparent populationIndividual gene plots (a-m)Â representing a sample of key genes hypothesized to underlie canonical nutrient sensing pathways, particularly the IIS/TOR and sirtuin deacetylases which are thought to regulate growth, reproduction, lifespan and stress resistance in many species including D. melanogaster. Ilp - insulin peptide gene, Sirt - sirtuin gene. There are 8Â insulin peptides and 5 sirtuins known in D. melanogasterBack to article page
