Insertion is less than 1 kb upstream of the pxb gene.
pxbBG01912 homozygous males have significantly increased levels of aggression. (P < 0.0001; Male aggression index = 17.3) and show morphological defects in their mushroom bodies including significantly wider alpha-lobes and significanly shorter, wider beta-lobes.
Mutants exhibit a quantitative gain of bristles.
Precise excision of the P{GT1}pxbBG01912 leads to reversion of the increased aggression phenotype seen in P{GT1}pxbBG01912 males.
