Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed female-sterile mutations at the X-linked loci fs(1)Nas and fs(1)ph which show allele-specific effects on egg shell structure and embryonic pattern formation. The majority of mutant alleles at both loci lead to a collapsed egg phenotype. The maternal effect lethal phenotype is characterized by cuticle defects resembling those found in three autosomal mutants of the terminal class. We have analyzed...
