The rDNA magnification process consists of a rapid and inheritable rDNA increase occurring in bobbed males: in a few generations the bb loci acquire the wild-type rDNA value and reach a bb+ phenotype.--We have analyzed the rDNA magnification process in the repair-recombination-deficient mutant mei9a, both at the phenotypical and rDNA content levels. In mei9a bb double mutants the recovery of bb+ phenotype is strongly disturbed and the rDNA redundancy value fails to reach the wild-type level. The strong effect of this meiotic mutation on rDNA magnification suggests a close relationship between this phenomenon and the repair-recombination processes.
rDNA 扩增过程包括在截毛雄蝇中发生的快速且可遗传的 rDNA 增加:在几代之内,bb 位点获得野生型 rDNA 值并达到 bb+表型。——我们已经在表型和 rDNA 含量水平上分析了修复 - 重组缺陷型突变体 mei9a 中的 rDNA 扩增过程。在 mei9a bb 双突变体中,bb+表型的恢复受到强烈干扰,并且 rDNA 冗余值未能达到野生型水平。这种减数分裂突变对 rDNA 扩增的强烈影响表明该现象与修复 - 重组过程之间存在密切关系。
