✦ Synopsis

Various types of testicular abnormalities, encountered in deep orange ( d w ) Drosophila melanogaster males, have been described. These abnormalities range from complete failure of attachment and, therefore, of elongation and coiling of both testes, to attachment and partial elongation of one testis.

The frequency of testicular dysgenesis among affected lines can be readily modifled by varying the culture conditions or the genetic background.

The occurrence of a relatively high incidence of abnormalities among males bearing an X-chromosome balancer (FiM4) is reported.
