Riassunto

Esemplari diD. melanogaster di tipo selvaggio o del mutantest, allevati su terreno contenente l'inibitore della xantino-deidrogenasi 4-idrossipirazolo-(3, 4 d)pirimidina (HPP), presentano l'occhio colorato in arancione scuro o in giallo. Cromatograficamente è stato possibile precisare che siffatte modificazioni dipendono dalla diminuzione dei pigmenti rossi contenuti nell'occhio, diminuzione che risulta molto più accentuata nel caso della neodrosopterina, il cui colore proprio è più rosso di quello degli altri pigmenti.
