    Abstract:
    The lines of the M'-cytotype characterized by a long-term instability (which was shown to be conditioned by transpositions of the new mobile element, Stalker) were hybridized with the P-line. This resulted in the appearance of a number of superunstable mutations at the yellow, white, singed, ocelliless and some other loci. The authors analyzed four independently obtained families of superunstable mutations at the singed locus. A wide spectrum of derivatives and high frequency of mutations were demonstrated, as well as the regularities of allelic transitions. Besides this, mutagenesis at the cut locus was observed in the chromosomes carrying sn mutations with frequency of 5.05 x 10(4). By means of the blot analysis it has been shown that most of ct mutations are intragenic deficiencies, ranging from 1.3 to 3 Kb, whose appearance is, conceivably, attributed to the inaccuracy of the insertion excision (the insertion is present but fails to alter the phenotype) at the cut locus of the chromosomes with the superunstable sn-alleles. In the lines with the sn- and ct-mutations the transpositions of the P-element and the Stalker were found, which indicates their involvement in mutagenesis. The authors discuss possible effects of inserting the complicated constructions, based on the combinations of P-element and the Stalker, on the induction of superinstability.
