Table 1.
Gross abnormalities displayed by myb mutants raised at permissive temperature
| Structure or process | Phenotypic defect |
|---|---|
| Wing | Reduced number of hairs; hair and bristle orientation disturbed |
| Abdomen | Missing bristles and hairs; hair and bristle orientation disturbed; patches of undifferentiated cuticle |
| Flight | myb1 flight ability impaired; myb2 flight ability unaffected |
| Oogenesis | Viability of embryos derived from mutant females greatly reduced when oogenesis occurs at restrictive temperature |
