Abstract excerpt
Variations at three flight-related enzyme loci, delta-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (delta-Gpdh), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6pd), and phosphoglucomutase (Pgm), of Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) moths were investigated using starch gel electrophoresis. Among the three enzyme loci, delta-Gpdh and G6pd were found to be monomorphic, but Pgm was polymorphic, with a total of seven different genotypes and five...
