Developmental analysis of the smellblind mutants: evidence for the role of sodium channels in Drosophila development.

Developmental biology - 1 Mar 1994

Lilly M, Riesgo-Escovar J, Carlson J

Abstract excerpt

We have recently found evidence that two smellblind mutants, originally identified as olfactory mutants, define a new class of mutation in the para (paralytic) sodium channel gene (Lilly et al., in press). These two mutants have previously been shown to be heat-sensitive developmental lethals: animals raised at elevated temperatures die as embryos or as young larvae (Lilly and Carlson, 1990, Genetics 124,...
