Df(2L)BSC31 was isolated as a P transposase-induced male recombination event involving P{EP}EP2297 and P{PZ}l(2)0627006270. The deletion was isolated as a net1-cn1 recombinant chromosome from the cross net1 cn1 b1 females x net 1 P{EP}EP2297/P{lacW}l(2)0627006270 cn1; TMS, P{Delta2-3}/+ males. Polytene chromosome squashes showed the breakpoints 23E5;23F4-5. Df(2L)BSC31 failed to complement msl-2227 and Pdswk10101. The deficiency chromosome retains the miniwhite marker from P{EP}EP2297.
