Abstract excerpt
bendless- (ben-) is an X chromosome mutation in Drosophila melanogaster, known to alter patterns of connections in the CNS and thus modify behavior (Thomas and Wyman, 1984). We report that in addition to its CNS effects, ben- has pleiotropic phenotypes affecting thoracic muscle patterning, pupal mortality, and post-eclosional mobility. The tergal depressor of the trochanter (TDT) normally attaches ventrally to an...
