Abstract excerpt
We have described a new unstable mutant of the vestigial locus isolated from a natural population. From this mutant, vestigial(almost) (vg(al)), wild-type (vg(al+)), and extreme (vg(ext)), alleles arose spontaneously. The molecular analysis of vg(al) shows that the mutation is due to a 1874 bp hobo element inserted in a vestigial intron. Two distinct kinds of events lead a wild-type phenotype. Three independent...
