Abstract excerpt
ota1 (ota = olfactory trap abnormal), an X-linked mutation of Drosophila isolated by virtue of abnormal olfactory behavior, is shown to be an allele of rdgB (retinal degeneration B), a gene required for normal visual system physiology. rdgB function is shown to be necessary for olfactory response of both adult flies and larvae, which have distinct olfactory systems. Electrophysiological recordings from the adult...
