Genetic Control of Lipid Metabolism in Tribolium

Nature volume 210, pages 221–222 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

GENE blockages of protein synthesis in micro-organisms are now classical to the study of gene action. While a few metabolic defects are well known to be under genetic control in higher organisms, including man, experimental evidence of genetic control of lipid metabolism is not known. Therefore, discovery of a gene in Tribolium which apparently influences the metabolism of fatty acids may be of general interest.
