The foraging locus: behavioral tests for normal muscle movement in rover and sitter Drosophila melanogaster larvae.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1992

Sokolowski M B, Hansell K P

Abstract excerpt

We used Drosophila melanogaster larvae with different alleles at the foraging (for) locus in a variety of behavioral tests to evaluate normal muscle usage of rover and sitter phenotypes. The results show that sitter and lethal sitter alleles of for do not affect larval behavior through a mutation...
