Abstract
The isolation of homozygous-viable pericentric inversions for inclusion in field-female killing (FK) systems in Lucilia cuprina is described. From 7,236 irradiated chromosomes screened, 16 pericentric inversions were isolated. Four of these were viable as homozygotes. One of these, In (3LR) 14, possesses the properties required for inclusion in FK systems (tight linkage of one inversion break-point to the white-eye gene and substantial genetic exchange within the inversion in heterozygous females).Entities:
