Abstract excerpt

We describe the maternal effect phenotype of a hypomorphic mutation in the Drosophila gene for glutamine synthetase I (GSI). The extent of development of embryos derived from homozygous mutant females is variable, although most mutant embryos fail to survive past germband elongation and none deve...
