Abstract excerpt
Genetic background variation influencing expression of the Antennapaedia homeotic phenotype was examined by crossing the Antp73b allele of the Antennapaedia locus reciprocally into seven isogenically derived wild type strains of Drosophila melanogaster and their genetically heterogeneous parent strain, Dover. The parent Antp73b strain's Antennapaedia phenotype shows a small patch of untransformed antennal tissue...
