Df(2L)Su(var)205-P5/Df(2L)TEAa-11 animals do not survive to the larval stage. Suppressor of variegation of the w gene seen in In(1)wm4 animals.
When P{P-Sal}Pak3P-Sal is present, the w gene of the P{lacW}Dplac insertion variegates, resulting (in a w- background) in an eye that is mostly white with a few patches of red ommatidia. This P-element-dependent silencing of P{lacW}Dplac is dominantly suppressed by Df(2L)Su(var)205-P5.
