Is function of the Drosophila homeotic gene Ultrabithorax canalized?

Genetics - 1 Nov 1997

Gibson G, van Helden S

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation affecting the expressivity of an amorphic allele of the homeotic gene Ultrabithorax, (Ubx1) was characterized after 11 generations of introgression into 29 different isofemale lines. Heterozygotes display a range of haploinsufficient phenotypes, from overlap with wild-type halteres to dramatic transformations such as a 50% increase in area and the presence of over 20 bristles on the anterior...
