Genetic studies of phenotypic revertants of the vestigial mutant in Drosophila melanogaster, induced by bromouridine and ethyl methanesulfonate.
Phenotypic revertants of the vestigial mutant in Drosophila melanogaster were induced by ethyl methanesulfonate and bromouridine. Genetic analysis showed that the revertant phenotype was due to suppressor genes in most cases. 3 suppressor genes were located. A mechanism of action of the genes on the vestigial phenotype is postulated.
