Adult flies have a similar sensitivity to veratrine and tetrodotoxin as wild-type.
paralyzed at 37oC; slow paralysis at 39oC; no larval paralysis One of three ethyl methanesulfonate-induced temperature-sensitive paralytic mutations at different loci on chromosome 2. Paralysis dependent on time and temperature of exposure; the recovery time is proportional to the severity of the paralyzing exposure.
