A linkage group of the gene responsible for changes of DA titer under stress in adults of D. virilis was determined. Line 160 of D. virilis, all autosomes of which bear visible recessive mutations, was used as an analyzer. Flies of lines 160 and 147 were shown to differ in DA content under normal conditions and in the way DA metabolic system reacts to stress. Among the offspring of the analyzing cross, groups of flies were found with one testable autosome from line 147 and all other chromosomes from line 160. Results of the DA titer measurements in flies of these groups under stress conditions have proved that the gene in question is linked to chromosome 6.
