The genetic bases of divergence in desiccation and starvation resistance among tropical and temperate populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2001

Kennington W J, Gilchrist A S, Goldstein D B, Partridge L

Abstract excerpt

Desiccation and starvation resistance are two stress-related traits which vary geographically with climate in Drosophila melanogaster. To investigate the contribution of epistasis to population divergence for these traits, we crossed tropical and temperate populations from two different geographical regions to produce F1, F2 and first backcross generations. Line-cross analysis of generation means revealed that...
