Abstract excerpt
The Hsp90 protein encoded by the Hsp83 gene is required for the development of many traits in Drosophila. Hsp83 is also thought to play a role in the expression of phenotypic and genetic variability for subsequent selection and evolutionary change. Here we examine the impact of different E(sev) and Su(Raf) Hsp83 mutants on means and phenotypic variances of invariant and variable bristle traits. One of the mutants...
