Abstract excerpt
Ethanol tolerance, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH; EC 1.1.1.1) activity, and tissue-specific expression were examined in species of the cardini group of Drosophila using D. melanogaster as a standard of comparison. In contrast to most fruit-breeding species, all cardini species examined, two from the cardini subgroup and five from the dunni subgroup, were ethanol sensitive (LC50 < or = 2.05%) and the mean ADH...
