Abstract

All-trans and 11-cis 3-hydroxyretinals were synthesized and the presence of these substances in the head of Drosophila melanogaster was shown by using high performance liquid chromatography. Even when the head extract was prepared in the dark from the flies reared successively in the dark, both of the 3-hydroxyretinal isomers were detected. In the culture medium, they were not present. D. melanogaster must have an 11-cis 3-hydroxyretinal forming-system that does not need light.
