EMS-induced polygenic mutation rates for nine quantitative characters in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1998

Keightley P D, Ohnishi O

Abstract excerpt

Polygenic mutations were induced by treating Drosophila melanogaster adult males with 2.5 mM EMS. The treated second chromosomes, along with untreated controls, were then made homozygous, and five life history, two behavioral, and two morphological traits were measured. EMS mutagenesis led to reduced performance for life history traits. Changes in means and increments in genetic variance were relatively much...
