Gene:

Ds
|
|
Feature/structure:
|
T1 [prothoracic] sternellum, elytra, global
|
|
Linkage Group:
|
4
|
|
Origin:
|
Spontaneous, from Peter Dawson's lab, Oregon State Univ.
|
|
Description:
|
• Sternellum is shortened and displaced outwardly from the body wall.
• The elytra are slightly shortened.
• Length of appendages and of the overall body are slightly reduced.
• Reduces the recombination frequency between h and s from around 17% to 7.7%.
• No evidence of chromosome translocation detected in tests for pseudolinkagae or upon cytological exam.
• Most likely associated with an inversion with one breakpoint between h and s and the other breakpoint on the opposite side of h.
