Isolation and characterization of the prune locus of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Jun 1991

Abstract excerpt

The complementary lethal interaction between the prune (pn) and Killer of prune loci of Drosophila melanogaster is an unusual and highly specific phenomenon. A lesion in pn results in a brownish-purple color of the compound eyes, while the conditional dominant Killer of prune mutation exhibits no phenotype by itself. However, a hemizygous or homozygous pn mutant carrying a copy of the Killer of prune gene dies...
