✦ Synopsis
Aldehyde oxidase (AO) and pyndoxal oxidase (PO) distribution patterns were determined in the imaginal wing discs for a series of strains of Drosophila rnelanogaster heterozygous for different Minute mutations. The mutant seventy ranged from very weak to strong. The results show an inverse response of A 0 and PO to the expressivity of the Minute mutation: in weaker Minutes the extent of the A 0 positive area increases, whereas PO activity disappears. The results are discussed with reference to an impaired protein synthesis in Minutes.
