Mutant Alleles at the Locus elav in Drosophila melanogaster lead to Nervous System Defects. A Developmental-Genetic Analysis
Abstract
We report a developmental and genetic analysis of the X-linked vital locus l(1)EC7 in Drosophila melanogaster. The locus maps in the salivary band region 1B4-5 to 1B8-9, a part of the X chromosome previously shown to be essential for normal neural development. Certain mutant alleles at the locus can cause embryonic lethality, indicating that the function provided by the gene is essential during embryogenesis. A developmental analysis of …
