Peppermint flies!!!!

[David M. Stack]

Hi everyone,


               I'm an undergrad at the university of Reading, England, 
and I am doing some research on D. melongaster.I am repeating an old 
experiment of a man named Thorpe which involves testing the taste and 
smell preferences of the flies. Will flies raised on peppermint chose a 
pot of the medium in a choice chamber? Will the offspring of these flies, 
when raised on a normal medium, still chose peppermint food in a choice 
chamber? I would be really grateful to anyone who could send me some 
information, no matter how small, large,complicated, whatever, or for any 
suggestions.

Thankyou all very much

DAVID STACK.
