Larvae homozygous or hemizygous for the l(1)t435 mutation located within the early ecdysteroid puff 2B5, or carrying a deletion of the 2B5 band, die at the end of the third larval instar. In the salivary gland chromosomes of these larvae only intermoult puffs are detected. If these salivary glands are incubated in vitro with 20-OH ecdysone for 6 h the intermoult puff 68 C remains large, some early puffs (74EF and 75B) are induced to 30-40% of their normal size, other early (63F) and all late puffs (62E, 78D, 82F and 63E) are not induced at all. Puff 2B5 reaches its normal size but does not regress after 6 h incubation with 20-OH ecdysone, as it does in normal stocks. The data obtained in this study show the existence of a locus (or loci) in the band (puff) 2B5 which is necessary for the normal response of the salivary gland chromosomes to the hormone 20-OH ecdysone.
