摘要: Copulatory behavior of three S and L type B. plicatilis strains from different geographic areas was analyzed. A 29 KD surface glycoprotein on females, characterized as a Mate Recognition Pheromone (MRP), binds to receptors in the corona males blocks mate recognition. Blocking observed all even though MRP isolated single L-type strain. Binding quantified using image analysis 20-fold difference among strains. direct relationship between male discrimination females intensity binding found. This might be useful tool examine variation recognition systems other rotifer species.
