rdgE: a novel retinal degeneration mutation in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1996

Zars T, Hyde D R

Abstract excerpt

We report isolating the Drosophila retinal degeneration E (rdgE) mutation. The hypomorphic rdgE1 allele causes rapid photoreceptor degeneration in light and a slower rate of degeneration when the flies are raised in constant darkness. The rdgE1 flies exhibited an electrophysiological light response that decreased with age, coinciding with the degeneration. This suggests that degeneration caused the loss of the...
