Title: Multiple alleles and low variability of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) from Peninsular Malaysia. Author: Yong HS, Yao L, Dhaliwal SS, Cheong WH, Chiang GL. Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1983; 75(1):43-5. PubMed ID: 6406135. Abstract: 1. A total of 8 samples from three natural populations and a laboratory strain of Aedes albopictus were analysed for glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase phenotypes by means of horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis. 2. The electrophoretic phenotypes were governed by three codominant Gpd alleles. 3. There was low variability, with the heterozygosity in the variable samples ranging from 0.02 to 0.12. 4. The commonest allele in all the population samples was GpdB which encoded an electrophoretic band with intermediate mobility. 5. There was no temporal or spatial variation.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
