[Analysis of the expression system of gene radius incompletes in Drosophila melanogaster].
The genetic expression system of gene radius incompletes was studied by substituting regions of chromosome 3 from line th st sr ca, which has drastically reduced ri expression, to regions of chromosome 3 from a "selection" line ri s having very high expression of this gene. Virtually all chromosome 3 was shown to carry polygenes controlling phenotypic expression of oligogenic mutation ri. Chromosome regions making large (as well as small and even negative) contributions to sizes of the distal and proximal fragments of the latitudinal wing vein were found. These results suggest that the genetic system of expression does not correspond to the generally accepted postulates of K. Mather on equal, small, and additive contributions of polygenes.
