The effect of caffeine on repair systems in oocytes of Drosophila melanogaster. III. Genetic analysis of factors controlling maternal repair in a repair-deficient strain of Drosophila melanogaster.
Genetic analysis was performed to locate the factors involved in the defective repair mechanism in the oocytes of Ubx e4/Payne ca females. The results demonstrate that at least three third-chromosome factors may be involved in the control of maternal repair, the two most effective ones being located on the right arm of the third chromosome, one near the Ubx locus and the other near the ca locus.
