Comparative genetic differences for the phosphoglucomutase and trehalase loci were surveyed in larval and adult blackfly populations of the onchocerciasis vectors Simulium yahense Vajime and Dunbar, and S.sanctipauli Vajime and Dunbar. Genotype frequencies for each stage and all populations were at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicating that S.yahense and S.sanctipauli remain genetically distinct. S.yahense populations from three different locations were found to be genotypically comparable. The larval population of S.yahense found in closest proximity to a S.sanctipauli population was found to express the phosphoglucomutase allele 1.33, characteristic of S.sanctipauli, with significantly greater frequency than other larval populations of S.yahense. This may constitute evidence of limited genetic introgression of S.sanctipauli with the S.yahense population. 相似文献

Using horizontal starch gel electrophoresis, ten enzyme systems were surveyed in ten populations of Tetramesa reared from eight species of grass collected from different sites in Britain. Eight species of Tetramesa were recognized on the basis of the number and relative mobilities of electromorph bands for larvae, pupae and adults. No differences were found between populations of T. hyalipennis (Walk.) reared from Elymus repens (L.) and E.farctus (Viv.) or between populations of T. eximia (Gir.) reared from Calamagrostis epigejos (L.) Roth and Ammophila arenaria (L.) Link. Experiments on mate-choice and host preference also supported the electrophoretic results for populations of T. hyalipennis and T. eximia. 相似文献

Human superoxide dismutase A of the common phenotype SOD A1 is present in two electrophoretic forms in erythrocytes. These forms are charge isomers, easily permuting one into the other. Oxidation and reduction of the copper, partial or complete saturation of the dimers with copper, and presence of thiol groups on the enzyme do not seem to be involved. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Sympatric occurrence of homozygotes for two electro-morphs controlled by a locus for octanol dehydrogenase, and the absence of heterozygotes, at two localities, indicates two isomorphic species within the taxon Anopheles minimus Theobald in Thailand. This view is supported by significant, relative deficiences of heterozygotes at other electromorphic loci. Gene frequency data are reported for seven electro-morphic loci in An.minimus sensu lato from eleven localities: one of the newly recognized species predominated in all but one locality and the second was confined to two localities. This species pair of An.minimus s.l. was clearly distinguished from An.aconitus Donitz, An.pampanai Biittiker & Beales and An.varuna Iyengar, three species closely related to An.minimus s.l. in the series Myzomyia of Anopheles subgenus Cellia. 相似文献

In an earlier study we found that the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis in Soda Lake, Nevada (USA) maintains extensive genetic variation for three isozymes. This variation was present both within and between different collections. No evidence was found that there was a seasonal succession of distinct electromorphs. In this paper we ask: is the genetic variation maintained by selective neutrality among electromorphs? Parthenogenetic females from ten clones representing seven different composite electromorphs were selected for life table analysis. Substantial main effects of genotype or interactions of genotype with experimental food quantities and temperatures, were found for the intrinsic rates of increase, net reproductive rates, and mean life spans of these clones. We conclude that these fitness differences permit us to reject the hypothesis that genetic variation is maintained because of selective neutrality among clones. Instead, it seems likely that directional selectional may be either too weak or of too brief a duration in Soda Lake for clonal exclusion to occur. 相似文献

Among the Anopheles (Cellia) maculatus group of Oriental mosquitoes, positive assortative mating occurs within sympatric and synchronous populations of An.willmori and An.pseudowillmori in the presence of populations of An.maculatus and An.sawadwongporni, judged from the occurrence of inversion homozygotes and the absence of any heterozygotes in their distinctive, polytene chromosomes. Genotypic frequencies for enzyme electromorphs give additional evidence for the species status of An.pseudowillmori and a practical means of identification in field studies of malaria vectors. Autosomal rearrangements are referred to those of An.stephensi which is unique for 4y. An.willmori differs by a single inversion, 4x; An.pseudowillmori by three Arm 2 inversions; and An.dispar by one Arm 2 inversion and 4x. Fixed autosomal rearrangements in the Maculatus group are summarized and their phylogenetic distribution suggests some unknown, intrinsic mechanism by which genome structure is disrupted in association with speciation events. This could be relevant to the potential genetic manipulation of malaria vectors. 相似文献

Mixtures of chromosomal forms A, B, C and D in natural populations of Anopheles dirus Peyton & Harrison sensu lato in Thailand show significant positive values of Wright's fixation index for six enzyme-electromorph loci. The mean value of FIS over all loci was found to be +0.28 (SD 0.02), with a range of +0.57 (Odh) to +0.10 (Idh-2). Partitioning electromorph data for the chromosomal forms reduces the mean FIS to 0.03 (SD 0.01), which suggests that positive assortative mating is a characteristic of each form. This supports the hypothesis that the chromosomal/electrophoretic forms A, B, C and D represent four distinct biological species within the An. dirus complex. An example is given of the use of enzyme electromorphs as a means of vector identification during a malaria entomological field study involving a mixture of An. dirus species A and D. Electromorph identifications of 323 sp. A and 161 sp. D were more than 98% correct when cross-referenced to specific DNA probes. 相似文献

The average mobility of electromorphs at an enzyme locus in a single population was defined as the weighted average mobility of the electromorphs in that population, where the electromorph frequencies are the weights. A derivative distance measure was defined whose taxonomic utility was determined in the Drosophila mulleri species complex. Most of the variation in this metric was at the interspecific level, primarily among clusters of sibling species. The electromorphs of some loci were equally and regularly spaced, while those of other loci were less regular in their spacing. Overall, these minor perturbations from regular spacing did not noticeably detract from the taxonomic utility of average mobility, and cluster analysis yielded the same taxonomic relationships as more conventional nonmolecular treatments. On the other hand, electromorph spacing may be related to functional constraints on the enzyme molecules. Some possible implications of the results for the modes of selection during evolution of the different enzymes are discussed.Supported by NSF Grant 22770, AEC Contract AT-(40-1)-4023, and NIH Career Development Award GM 47350-05 to R.H.R. 相似文献
