mxp(Stm) = maxillopedia(Stumpy)
Gene:	mxp
Feature/structure:	Antennae
Linkage Group:	2
Origin:	Ethylmethane sulfonate.
Description:	• GOF. Club and funicle of antennae reduced. • Near-lethal with lethal mxp alleles • Complements viable mxp. • Homozygous stock is fertile. • Other stocks balanced with Stm are only slightly leaky. • Lab-S RFLP matches Stm RFLP in a clone from the A gene, so Stm probably is a Lab-S chromosome. • No translocation found cytologically by Giovani Mocelin.
