| Abstract: | Starch gel electrophoresis was used to detect esterases in the heart tissues of 615 European starlings (Sturnus v. vulgaris L.). Four esterase zones were observed. Three of them migrated to the anode and the other to the cathode. Three polymorphic zones (two anodic and one cathodic) were observed. At each polymorphic zone, three phenotypes were identified. These polymorphic systems are hereditary and controlled by two codominant alleles. |
