Abstract excerpt
Mutations at the lozenge (lz) locus are pleiotropic, primarily affecting the sense organs for sight, smell and taste. To better understand the role that lz plays in the visual system, we investigated its complex genetics and the effect mutations have on the structure of the compound eye. Complementation analysis within the lz locus reveals two functional units necessary for a normal eye, cistrons A and B....
