Hybrid females from a cross of D.simulans females to D.melanogaster males are poorly viable. The lethality of these hybrids (which is embryonic) is rescued by D.simulans Dsim\mhr1. These rescued hybrids also show postembryonic lethality at 25oC. This postembryonic lethality is suppressed by D.melanogaster Hmr1.
Suppresses hybrid female embryonic lethality of offspring from D.simulans females and D.melanogaster males.
Rescued females show a temperature sensitive pupal lethality suggested to be due to effects of a mutation in a second unidentified gene. Allele identified in two laboratory strains.
