Abstract excerpt
Feeding behavior mutants of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster having point-mutations were isolated. The defects were analyzed in order to study the mechanism of feeding behavior. Point-mutations named febB (three allele) and febA (three allele) were located between the X-chromosome markers cho and cv and between the markers cv and v, respectively. The febB mutants showed a higher acceptance threshold of the...
