An F1 genetic screen for maternal-effect mutations affecting embryonic pattern formation in Drosophila melanogaster.
Large-scale screens for female-sterile mutations have revealed genes required maternally for establishment of the body axes in the Drosophila embryo. Although it is likely that the majority of components involved in axis formation have been identified by this approach, certain genes have escaped detection. This may be due to (1) incomplete saturation of the screens for female-sterile mutations ...
متن کاملAconitase and Developmental EndPointsasEarly IndicatorsofCellularToxicity Induced by Xenobiotics in Drosophila Melanogaster
Background: In this study, the toxicity of the different xenobiotics was tested on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster model system. Methods: Fly larvae were raised on food supplemented with xenobioticsat different concentrations (sodium nitroprusside (0.1-1.5 mM), S-nitrosoglutathione (0.5-4 mM), and potassium ferrocyanide (1 mM)). Emergence of flies, food intake by larvae, and pupation h...
متن کاملDevelopmental genetic analysis of Contrabithorax mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.
A developmental analysis of the Contrabithorax (Cbx) alleles offers the opportunity to examine the role of the Ultrabithorax (Ubx) gene in controlling haltere, as alternative to wing, morphogenesis in Drosophila. Several Cbx alleles are known with different spatial specificity in their wing toward haltere homeotic transformation. The molecular data on these mutations, however, does not readily ...
متن کاملDevelopmental and genetic studies on kynurenine hydroxylase from Drosophila melanogaster.
The level of kynurenine hydroxylase was measured throughout the development of wild type and the eye color mutants v, cn, st, ltd, cd, kar, w, ca, bri and p(P) of Drosophila melanogaster. In all cases except cn a bimodal distribution of enzyme activity during development was observed. Activity is initially detectable in second instar. A maximum is reached in early third instar. Activity decline...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of two female-sterile loci affecting eggshell integrity and embryonic pattern formation in Drosophila melanogaster.
We have analyzed female-sterile mutations at the X-linked loci fs(1)Nas and fs(1)ph which show allele-specific effects on egg shell structure and embryonic pattern formation. The majority of mutant alleles at both loci lead to a collapsed egg phenotype. The maternal effect lethal phenotype is characterized by cuticle defects resembling those found in three autosomal mutants of the terminal clas...
