Abstract excerpt
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene expression was analyzed in Drosophila melanogaster and its sibling species D. simulans. The levels of ADH activity, ADH-cross-reacting material (CRM), and ADH-mRNA were analyzed for several strains of each species, which derive from diverse geographic locations around the world. There is considerable quantitative variation in ADH activity, CRM level, and RNA level among strains...
