Abstract excerpt
The sbr gene of Drosophila melanogaster belongs to the NXF (nuclear export factor) family responsible for the mRNA transport from nucleus to cytoplasm. We have shown that in the heat-exposed (37 degrees C, 1 h) females, the l(1)ts403 (sbr10) mutation leads, in particular, to the high-frequency nondisjunction and loss of sex chromosomes in meiosis. For this trait, the incomplete dominance of the sbr10 mutation is...
