Abstract excerpt
The effect of null activity of phenoloxidase on the survival rate was investigated in mutants of Drosophila melanogaster. MoxGM95 and Dox-3KD95, structural genes for prophenoloxidase A1 and A3, were found in natural populations in the former Soviet Union, and affected the phenoloxidase activity in active A1 or A3, respectively. After linking the visible markers located on the second chromosome together with the...
