Gene: ap
Feature/structure: Antennae
Linkage Group:  8 
Origin: Ff originated from an experiment in which Ds [Lg4] was irradiated with gamma rays.
Description: • May be ap allele.
• Dominance confirmed in a outcross to Ga-1. Penetrance is ~100.%.
• Characteristic phenotype - normal club, funnicle with fusion to usually 4-5 segments. The distal 1-2 segments are enlarged to a size intermediate between that of a funnicle and club segment, giving the club an enlarged 4-segment look usually.
