This deletion removes a single ribosomal protein-coding gene (though other genes are also removed).
Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.
The Df(3L)R-G5 chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).
Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome.
No second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr and zipmhc-c6.1.
Deficient embryos show an uninterpretable mutant midgut phenotype.
Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.
Heterozygotes with In(3LR)TM3 display abnormal indirect flight muscle (IFM) myofibrils, frequent aberrations in Z-disc shape and Z-discs that do not span the myofibril. Transverse sections of muscles show the periphery of the thick and thin filament lattice is disorganised.

Used in D.melanogaster/D.simulans hybrids to map at least four non-overlapping regions on the D.simulans 3R that have effects on the species difference of cuticular hydrocarbon profile.
