Abstract excerpt
The ref(2)P gene is involved in the control of sigma rhabdovirus multiplication in Drosophila melanogaster. ref(2)P activity is also necessary for male fertility. However, in one-third of laboratory strains tested, males that lacked ref(2)P activity were fertile. In all such strains studied, the male sterility phenotype was abolished due to the presence of a particular allele at the Su(P) locus, at 73B1-2. These...
