Abstract excerpt

The alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh; alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.1) gene family has two or three loci in a broad array of angiosperm species. The relative stability in the number of Adh loci led Gottlieb [Gottlieb, L. D. (1982) Science 216, 373-380] to propose that the Adh gene family arose...
