The Phenogenetics of A Super-Suppressor in Drosophila Melanogaster I. Phenotypic Characterization and Suppressor Efficiency

Abstract

An investigation of the phenotypic characteristics of the super-suppressor Bu(Hw)2 of D. melanogaster was carried out using the suppressible mutant sc1 together with the scutellar, dorsocentral, and vertical bristle systems. The effect of the suppressor was studied in a series of selection lines differing in both their sc1 and sc+ means.
