Sequence variation of alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) paralogs in cactophilic Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2003

Matzkin Luciano M, Eanes Walter F

Abstract excerpt

This study focuses on the population genetics of alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) in cactophilic Drosophila. Drosophila mojavensis and D. arizonae utilize cactus hosts, and each host contains a characteristic mixture of alcohol compounds. In these Drosophila species there are two functional Adh loci, an adult form (Adh-2) and a larval and ovarian form (Adh-1). Overall, the greater level of variation segregating in D....
