The genetics of abnormal abdomen, incomplete abdomen, and bobbed in Drosophila buzzatii

Abstract
Five stocks of Drosophila buzzatii with superficially similar abdominal disruptions including partial tergite and sternite loss were isolated by inbreeding. Three of the stocks have indistinguishable phenotypes, the inheritance of which is maternally influenced. This phenotype and its mode of inheritance bear similarities with those of Abnormal abdomen in D. melanogaster. The phenotype in the fourth stock is slightly different and is due to a single autosomal recessive gene, which we denote incomplete abdomen. In the fifth stock the trait is limited to females, and in appearance and mode of inheritance resembles bobbed in D. melanogaster. Furthermore, only in this stock are rDNA deletions evident. The combined frequencies of the three types of abdominal aberration were found to be around 1% in several samples from wild and laboratory populations of D. buzzatii.
