The male mating success of y+mDint males is statistically equivalent to controls. y+mDint flies have greatly reduced pigmentation in the aristae and tarsal claws. They show a partial reduction in the bristles and sex combs.
Body colour: body, wing and sex combs wild-type on y-; bristles, tarsal clawd and aristae yellow on y-. Larval mouth part colour: intermediate on y-. Larval denticle belt colour: yellow on y-.
Body colour: wild type, wing and sex combs wild type, bristles. Larval mouth part colour: reduced. Larval denticle belt colour: mutant.
Carried in plasmid pCiB-yin (which is designed to be a donor plasmid for recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) using phiC31\int) and injected into D.melanogaster embryos.
