Perturbation of gene frequencies in a natural population of Drosophila melanogaster: evidence for selection at the Adh locus.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1994

McKenzie J A, McKechnie S W, Batterham P

Abstract excerpt

The cellular population of Drosophila melanogaster at the Chateau Tahbilk Winery (Victoria, Australia) was perturbed for alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) gene frequencies. Phenol oxidase (Phox) frequencies were also perturbed and monitored as a control. Subsequent gene frequency changes, together with information on population structure, indicated that selection acted on the chromosome regions of both loci. Adh gene...
