Dynamics of cytoplasmic incompatibility and mtDNA variation in natural Drosophila simulans populations.

Genetics - 1 Nov 1992

Turelli M, Hoffmann A A, McKechnie S W

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila simulans a cytoplasmically transmitted microorganism causes reduced egg hatch when infected males mate with uninfected females. The infection is rapidly spreading northward in California. Data on a specific mtDNA restriction site length polymorphism show that changes in the frequency of mtDNA variants are associated with this spread. All infected flies possess the same mtDNA allele, whereas the...
