Abstract excerpt
Maternal hemizygosity of the 21 B8.C1-21 C8.D1 aristaless region of chromosome 2L of Drosophila melanogaster leads to high levels of embryonic mortality from the cross of Df(2L) al/+ females x +/+ males. The 21 B8.C1-21 C8.D1 polytene section therefore carries maternally active genes essential for embryogenesis. Selective screening for female sterile mutants against Df(2L) al yielded six alleles of a new female...
