Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

ifc4 homozygous mutant adults present significantly increased survival to starvation, increased body weight, increased adiposity in abdominal sections, and increased sizes of fat body cells and lipid droplets, as compared to controls.

ifc4 homozygous mutant adults present similar feeding behavior to controls, as assessed by postprandial meal volume, average meal frequency and volume, and caloric intake.

Testes are short and filled with cysts of 16-cell spermatocytes, which degenerate prior to completion of the growth phase.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Sk2KG05894, ifc4 double homozygous adults present a more severe increase in survival in response to starvation as compared to either Sk2KG05894 or ifc4 homozygous mutants.

The increased body weight, increased adiposity in abdominal sections, and increased sizes of fat body cells and lipid droplets observed in either ifc4 or Sk2KG05894 homozygous mutant adults are not exacerbated in ifc4, Sk2KG05894 double homozygous adults.

The increased starvation-induced appetite, but not the increased postprandial meal volume, the increased average meal frequency and volume, or the increased daily food intake, observed in Sk2KG05894 homozygous mutant adults is exacerbated by ifc4 homozygosity.
