Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the role of the ryanodine receptor in Drosophila development by using pharmacological and genetic approaches. We identified a P element insertion in the Drosophila ryanodine receptor gene, Ryanodine receptor 44F (Ryr), and used it to generate the hypomorphic allele Ryr(16). An examination of hypodermal, visceral, and circulatory muscle showed that, in each case, muscle contraction was...
