Abstract excerpt
Earlier work has indicated that the period length of Drosophila circadian behavioral rhythms is dependent on the abundance of the period (per) gene product. Increased expression of this gene has been associated with period shortening for both the circadian eclosion (pupal hatching) rhythm and circadian locomotor activity rhythms of adult Drosophila. In this study it is shown that a wide variety of missense...
