The balancers of Drosophila melanogaster are widely used in genetic research. By analyzing the phenotype of offspring from hybridization of chapped wing (L) mating with OR, 982p and e, respectively, we mapped the chapped wing mutation on chromosome 3 for the first time and demonstrated the chapped wing mutation as a new balancer of D. melanogaster with dominant wing nicking phenotype. Finally, we bred a novel gathering line with double balancers of L and Cy in D. melanogaster. The mutant L provided a legible dominant marker for the balancer of chromosome 3, and the cultivation of double balancers chapped-curly wing enriches the balancer stock, which is often used in mapping and screening.
