Abstract excerpt
The complete structure of the cysteine proteinase (CP1) gene reveals two large 5' introns as well as a small third intron. Deletion studies have shown that null mutations for the locus are female sterile with partial male sterility as well as wing and pigmentation effects. Null alleles can be produced by either deletions to the left or deletions to the right of a P element insertion in the long second intron of...
