By the way, there is a mistake in our Table 2. The cytological interval for tumbleweed is 49C-50D, and the interval for shrub is 44F-45E. The two was reversed in the Table. it would be nice if you could change that when you put the information into Flybase. Thanks. With best wishes.

I have a few questions I was hoping you could answer for me. 1. yew allele In Table 2 you mention an allele of a your new gene yew. Do you have a name for this allele? (e.g. yew1) 2. short symbols, limber, ponderosa, cypress, saguaro, (yew) Also in table 2 you mention a number of new genes. Have you decided on short symbols for these genes? Here are a number of
suggestions that haven't already been used, though if you want to use another symbol that hasn't been taken then that is,
of course, no problem. I assume that 'ye limber (lim is already taken) lmb lmr lbr lmbr ponderosa (pon is already taken) pond pnd cypress (although cyp is not taken, Cyp1, Cyp4c3, and other similar symbols are already in use) cps cypr cyps saguaro (sag is already taken) sago sgu sgo sgr 3. UAS-GFP You use a UAS-GFP construct throughout your paper, there are a number in our records, could you tell me if the one you used in this paper is one of those below ( I have listed those that seem to be the most likely ones). If it is not, or you are not sure, could you tell me where you got the construct from, and any other papers you know that this construct has been used in before.

Thank you for answering these questions. Best Wishes, Chihiro
