Abstract excerpt
Investigation of a modifier locus displaying a darker eye phenotype in white-apricot flies led to the isolation of the gene encoding UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UDPGDH). The P-element insertion l(3)05007 occurs upstream of the transcription start site of the sugarless (sgl) gene and greatly reduce...
