Drosophila melanogaster as a model system for assessing development under conditions of microgravity
Trans Kans Acad Sci.
1992.
Abstract
More is known about the regulation of early developmental events in Drosophila than any other animal. In addition, its size and short life cycle make it a facile experimental system. Since developmental perturbations have been demonstrated when both oogenesis and embryogenesis occur in the space environment, there is a strong rationale for using this organism for the elucidation of specific gravity-sensitive developmental events.
