From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, March 1978
Phenotype: lacks flagella, does not mate
The bld or bald mutants were recovered as nonmating mutants in Goodenough’s laboratory, and were subsequently shown to lack flagella. This is the original bld1 mutant.
The BLD1 locus encodes intraflagellar transport protein IFT52, a homolog of C. elegans osm-6.
