Small fruit fly (fruit fly) rearing cage and rearing system

Abstract

The invention provides a small fruit fly (fruit fly) rearing cage and rearing system. The rearing cage comprises a rearing bottle, a ventilation opening is formed in the side wall of the rearing bottle, a separation net is arranged at the ventilation opening, and a first opening is formed in a bottle cap of the rearing bottle; the embryo collector is placed in the feeding bottle; the water bottle is inversely arranged at the first opening of the bottle cap, a cotton strip is plugged at an outlet of the water bottle, and the water bottle is used for storing sterile water; and the plurality of food vessels are placed in the feeding bottle. The invention has the following advantages: a new water supply system is provided and is more convenient than the traditional water supply system; the space problem is solved, small size, medium size and large size can be customized, and different tools are provided corresponding to different hybridization schemes, so that the different hybridization schemes can be conveniently realized; escape can be better prevented by matching with other tools; a new component, such as an embryo collector, can better assist the experiment process; according to the invention, single breeding, single-single hybridization or multiple-single hybridization can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biological breeding, in particular to a breeding cage and a breeding system for small fruit flies (fruit flies). Background technique [0002] Drosophila is a classic model organism, and many major breakthroughs in biological research have been accomplished with the help of Drosophila. Drosophila has many advantages such as simple chromosome composition, short growth cycle, easy feeding, and rich mutant library. It has been widely used in key fields such as developmental biology, neurobiology, and human disease research, and has produced a series of original scientific research results. As of 2017, Drosophila has helped scientists win the Nobel Prize 5 times. [0003] In the prior art, fruit flies (fruit flies) breeding cages such as the multifunctional fruit fly adult breeding cages disclosed by CN 202588107 U (such as Figure 5 ), which is a large cage with slightly larger space. It is equipped with a ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Unable to experiment with 1-to-1 or many-to-many crosses;

[0005] The large number of breeding leads to fast food consumption, and frequent food changes are required;

[0006] easy to escape;

[0007] To set up a water supply pipe, an external water source is required for water supply, which is inconvenient for water supply
