ABSTRACT
Resistance to starvation is a classic complex trait, where genetic and environmental variables can greatly modify an animal's ability to survive without nutrients. In this study, we investigate the genetic basis of starvation resistance using complementary quantitative and classical genetic mapping in Drosophila melanogaster. Using the Drosophila Genetics Reference Panel (DGRP) as a starting point, we queried the genetic basis of starvation sensitivity in one of the most sensitive DGRP lines. We localize a major effect locus modifying starvation resistance to the phospholipase iPLA2-VIA. This finding is consistent with the work of others which demonstrate the importance of lipid regulation in starvation stress. Furthermore, we demonstrate that iPLA2-VIA plays a role in the maintenance of sugar reserves post-starvation, which highlights a key dynamic between lipid remodeling, sugar metabolism and resistance to starvation stress.
