Melanotic mutants in Drosophila: pathways and phenotypes.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2006

Minakhina Svetlana, Steward Ruth

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in >30 genes that regulate different pathways and developmental processes are reported to cause a melanotic phenotype in larvae. The observed melanotic masses were generally linked to the hemocyte-mediated immune response. To investigate whether all black masses are associated with the cellular immune response, we characterized melanotic masses from mutants in 14 genes. We found that the melanotic...
