Abstract excerpt

The possibility of somatic mobilisation of P elements in Drosophila melanogaster was investigated. Flies, trans-heterozygous for the genetic markers mwh and flr3, were obtained by crossing males containing transposition-competent P elements with females having M cytotype. The hybrid dysgenic flie...
