Abstract excerpt
Effect of mutations at the ebony or black locus on induction of heat shock puffs in polytene nuclei of salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster larvae were examined by [3H]uridine autoradiography. The levels of beta-alanine in the body are known to be increased by mutation at the ebony locus but decreased by mutation at the black locus. The presence of mutant allele/s at either locus in the homo- or...
