[Drosophila] proboscis mutants

[Rebecca Petersen Brown]

Hi,
I'm a research scientist at The University of Chicago. We're 
interested in using the Advance Photon Source to visualize 
aberrations in the sclerotized parts of the adult D.mel. 
head, including the proboscis. We know of several mutants of 
the Proboscis Extension Reflex (PER). Are there other 
strains of flies with anatomical or locomotory aberrations 
of the mouthparts? If so, would you be willing to share them?

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Becca Brown
