Eight Drosophila melanogaster strains, seven homozygous for AdhF alleles and one for an Adh-null mutant, were compared for ADH activity in males and adult mortality on ethanol-supplemented food. The strains differed considerably in these qualities. A positive correlation was found between ADH activity and LD50. The relevance of this finding is discussed in relation to the differential selection acting on Adh genotypes kept on ethanol-supplemented food.
对八个黑腹果蝇品系进行了比较,其中七个为AdhF等位基因的纯合子,一个为Adh基因缺失突变体,比较了它们在雄性果蝇中的乙醇脱氢酶(ADH)活性以及在添加乙醇的食物上的成虫死亡率。这些品系在这些特性上有很大差异。发现ADH活性与半数致死剂量(LD50)之间存在正相关。结合对添加乙醇食物上的Adh基因型的差异选择,讨论了这一发现的相关性。
