Abstract Background It is reported that the circadian rhythms of female mating activity differ among Drosophila species and are controlled by an endogenous circadian clock. Here we found that the mating rhythm of D. ananassae differed from that of D. melanogaster. Moreover to evaluate the effect of clock gene products on mating activities we examined the mating activity of D. melanogaster timeless tim01 transgenic fly harboring heat-shock promotor driven-D. ananassae timeless tim gene hs-AT tim01 . Methods Flies were maintained under light dark LD cycles for several days and then they were transferred to constant dark DD conditions at 25 C. Transformant flies were heat-shocked for 30 min PZT or pZt PZT means Projected Zeitgeber Time at 37 C every day. Daily expressions of D. ananassae .
