Temperature-Sensitive Mutations in Drosophila melanogaster , VII. A Mutation ( para ts ) Causing Reversible Adult Paralysis
Open accessAbstract
A temperature-sensitive mutation, para ts , in Drosophila melanogaster causes an immediate, but reversible, paralysis of adult flies when they are shifted from 22°C to 29°C. The mutation is a sex-linked recessive that maps 2.8 units to the left of f . Wild-type flies observed for 2-hr periods exhibited normal mobility at all temperatures between 22°C and 35°C. From 22°C to 25°C, para ts flies were wild type in walking, climbing, and flying ability. At 1-degree intervals above 25°C, para ts flies became increasingly debilitated; at 29°C, complete paralysis occurred. After flies were maintained for prolonged intervals at 29°C, some activity could be recovered at that temperature. Studies of the behavior of mosaics at 29°C revealed a requirement of the (+) allele in the head for mobility, and a thoracic component for proper leg movement. Normal electroretinograms were obtained at both 22°C and 30°C. The results suggest a temperature-sensitive defect in the nervous system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
