Individuals that carry a copy of P\TKP on the second chromosome have suppressed P-element susceptibility due to the repression of P-element transcription.
KP elements preferentially accumulate in the presence of P-elements and suppress hybrid dysgenesis in both sexes. Strains lacking the P cytotype (M') contain up to 30 copies of KP-element per haploid genome.
