Direct tests of v*-N1893 showing it is not allelic to yg2, combined with results with wd1, indicate that this mutant is an allele of pyd1 (i.e., pyd1-N1893). This mutant arose in a bz2-m experiment -- if it should prove not to be a deficiency, it is a genic mutation in the region that pyd1 deficiencies on 9S uncover. Tests of w*-N1865, which doe have a white phenotype, indicate it is a wd1-like deficiency. Tests of w*-N1854, with a white to near-white phenotype, also suggest it may be a wd1-like deficiency, but in the absence of tests on pyd1, this remains uncertain. Both of the latter mutants arose in an a1-m experiment. I appreciate the help of Dan England in selecting these mutants, and in advising on their origin and pedigree. |
