Genetic analysis of the B2t locus has resulted in the recovery of four recessive mutations in the B2t structural gene and a deficiency that deletes the locus. Two of the mutations were recovered as suppressors of B2tD, a dominant male sterile mutation at the locus, and two were induced on wild-type chromosomes. All four mutant genes encode beta 2-tubulin subunits that are synthesized at normal rates but do not accumulate. All mutants are completely male sterile as homozygotes.
对B2t位点的遗传分析已在B2t结构基因中发现了四个隐性突变以及一个缺失该位点的缺陷型。其中两个突变是作为B2tD(该位点的一个显性雄性不育突变)的抑制子被发现的,另外两个是在野生型染色体上诱导产生的。所有四个突变基因编码的β2 - 微管蛋白亚基以正常速率合成但不积累。所有突变体作为纯合子时均完全雄性不育。
