Popis: The autosomal recessive allele v wing (v) in the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), produces flies that when reared at 30 degrees C have stubby wings. The mutant was used to construct a translocation-based genetic sexing system in an attempt to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the sterile insect release method for field control.
