We have studied the influence of some mutations in the bithorax complex on the observed synapsis dependent phenotype of the genotypes Cbx1Ubx1/+ and bx3 4e/Ubx1. The effect of these mutations is similar to that introduced by disruption of pairing or by the za mutation. Among the bx mutations, we fin
The penetrance in heterozygotes of vestigial mutants was analysed. Two ,genetic modifier systems, one enhancing, the other diminishing the penetrance of vg in heterozygotes were postdated. Both modifiers were found either in the wild or in the mutant strains, and are located on the X chromosome. Fr
The vestigal (vg) gene encodes a nuclear protein which plays a major role in the formation of the wing of Drosophila. Resistance or sensitivity to aminopterin, an inhibitor of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme in D. melanogaster, seems to be associated with a specific alteration in vg gene function
