[Preparation and primary genetic analysis of Drosophila melanogaster transformants line w'lz(b)/XXywf, containing mini-white genes, integrated in the genome during P-element-dependent transformation].

Transformation of Drosophila melanogaster using P-element-based vectors yielded 129 sublines, which carried mini-white gene copies in the different genome regions. Dependence of mini-white gene expression on the location, gene dosage, and sex of the transformed individuals was analyzed. The mutation lzb was shown to suppress mini-white gene expression, the degree of suppression depending on the location and dosage of the mini-white gene.
