    Notes: Abstract Two meiotic genes from natural populations are described. A female meiotic mutation,mei(1)g13, mapped to 17.4 on the X chromosome, causes nondisjunction of all homologs except for the fourth chromosomes. In addition, it reduces recombination by 10% in the homozygotes and causes 18% increased recombination in the heterozygotes. A male meiotic mutation,mei-1223 m144 , is located on the third chromosome. Although this mutation causes nondisjunction of all chromosomes, each chromosome pair exhibits a different nondisjunction frequency. Large variations in the sizes of the premature sperm heads observed in the homozygotes may reflect irregular meiotic pairing and the subsequent abnormal segregation, resulting in aneuploid chromosome complements.

    Notes: Abstract Particulate fractions from the heads of Drosophila melanogaster catalyze the conversion of o-aminophenols to phenoxazinones. This particulate enzyme is stimulated by Mn2+. It has a number of features which distinguish it clearly from the Mn2+-dependent activity found in the soluble fraction. The particulate enzyme has a characteristic developmental pattern, showing a marked increase in activity at about the time of onset of xanthommatin synthesis. In addition, it is much reduced in activity in a number of xanthommatin-deficient mutants (v, cn, st, cd, and w). We believe that the head particulate enzyme is involved in xanthommatin biosynthesis and that the developmental onset of synthesis of this pigment is brought about by the synthesis or activation of this enzyme.
