Original article A genetic evaluation of male reproductive fitness at early and late age in Drosophila melanogaster treated with a mutagen T G LE Björklund, Engström Liljedahl Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Anirreal Breeding and Genetics, Box 7023, S-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden (Received 26 February 1992; accepted 2 June 1993) Summary - The effect of ethyl methane sulfonate-induced mutations in different germ cell stages on male reproductive fitness at early and late age, compared to an untreated control, was investigated in a laboratory population of Drosophila melanogaster. Indication of active DNA after treatment was obtained in the repair processes mutagen pre-meiotic germ cell stages. Genetic parameters for the male fitness trait, ie numberof progeny were estimated in a succession of different broods at early and late ages. Heritability estimates for progeny size were found to vary between 0.13 and 0.97 in the different brood stages and over the 2 treatment groups. The estimates of genotype-environment interaction, as well as genetic correlations, suggest that the genetic determination of progeny size is different at an early age between EMS-treated and untreated individuals, but not at late ages. reproductive fitness / Drosophila melanogaster / genetic parameter / ageing / mutagen Résumé - Évaluation génétique des capacités de reproduction de mâles de différents âges exposés à un agent mutagène chez Drosophila melanogaster.
