Hsp70Aa << bk1 << l(3)R12 << bk2
Heterozygotes have significantly decreased levels of 7-monoenes in males, and of 7-monoenes and 7,11-dienes in females. The decrease in 7-unsaturated hydrocarbons is paralleled with an increase in linear saturated hydrocarbons.
Homozygous embryos die before hatching and have a series of abnormal traits, including the almost complete absence of visible tracheae.
Deletes the heat shock puff at 87C. Breakpoints are close to 87D3--87D4 and 87A4--87A5 although these bands are not deleted.
