Behavioural Assessment of Muscle Development by Downregulating Different Types of Integrins in Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract: Muscles play a major role in movement and diverse activities required for survival of an organism. In Drosophila, larval crawling and peristalsis are such kinds of rhythmic movements and are driven by muscle contractions. Larval crawling involves random walk on the solid surface whereas peristalsis involves one full body wall muscle contraction from anterior to posterior or in reverse direction in fluid. Accuracy in the development of muscles is an …
