Abstract excerpt
This report describes a detailed behavioral study of four shi alleles, shits1, shits2, shits4, and shiST139, and their heteroallelic combinations. Flies of different heteroallelic combinations (shi/shi) were less sensitive to high temperature than the corresponding homozygotes. Among them, shits2/shits4 showed a striking reduction in temperature sensitivity. In contrast, different shi/+ heterozygotes were more...
