      Statement
      Reference

      Numerous melanotic tumors in larval hemocoel and in adults; penetrance 59-86%; suppressed by su(tu-bw), affected by diet. Characterized by precocious transformation of plasmatocytes into lamellocytes (which usually occurs at time of pupation); subsequent encapsulation of tissue by lamellocytes produces melanotic masses. RK3.
