Associations of esterase 6 allozyme and activity variation with reproductive fitness in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1994

Saad M, Game A Y, Healy M J, Oakeshott J G

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have shown that the esterase 6 (EST6) enzyme of D. melanogaster is mainly produced in the sperm ejaculatory duct of the adult male and comparisons of wild-type males with laboratory null mutants have suggested that the enzyme plays a role in reproductive fitness. In this study we have compared 18 field-derived lines each isoallelic for Est6 for differences in five components of male reproductive...
