Mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy maintained in natural populations of Drosophila simulans in Réunion.

Genetical research - 1 Apr 1991

Matsuura E T, Fukuda H, Chigusa S I

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in Drosophila simulans was studied to determine whether the cytoplasmic state of mtDNA heteroplasmy persists in natural populations in Réunion. For this purpose, 172 isofemale lines, newly collected from two local populations, were examined, among which three t...
