Abstract excerpt
Mutations at the period (per) locus of Drosophila melanogaster disrupt the circadian rhythm of adult locomotor activity. Molecular studies have shown that this gene is expressed primarily at the embryonic, pupal and adult stages. We have used conditional per mutants to infer the stages of development during which per expression is required for adult rhythmicity. In experiments carried out with germline...
