Deosophila melanogadter 자연집단재 alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) allele 의 polymorphism 및 두 ADH allele 유전자형간의 적응도와 ethanol 의 상관 관계를 조사하였다. D. meanogaster의 자연집단내 ADH는 polymorphic 하였으며, FF,FS그리고 SS형의 유전자 빈도는 47.66,42.18 및 10.16%로 나타나 F 유전자의빈도가 S 유전자에 비하여 높게 분포하였다. 산란력과 우화율에서는 FF 유전자형이 SS 유전자형에 비하여 모두 약간 높게 나타났다. 자연집단에서 유래된 인공 소집단에서는 세대의 흐름에 따라 {{{{ { Adh}^{F } }}}} 유 전자형의 빈도증가와 상대적 {{{{ { Adh}^{S }}}}} 유전자형의 감소를 보였고, etha-nol은 ADH locu 상의 selective factor로서 작용함을 시사하여 주었다.

Tne present studies were camied out to ~nvestigate the allele frequency variations of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in natural populat~ons of Drosophiio melonogoster and the correlations of iwo ADH alleles between fitness and ethanol. ADH alleles were found to be polymorphic in natural populations of D. rnelanogaster. The frequencies of FF, FS and SS genotypes were 47.66, 42 18, and 10.16%. respectively, therefore the F gene frequency (68.75) was shown to be hlgher than the S gene (31.25 %). The FF genotype was slightly superior to the SS genotype in both fecundiiy and eclaslon. The frequency of AdhF allele in the small alt>fic~apl opulaliow originated from natural populations was increased for 20 generations on normal media at 25C In resistance to ethanol, the FF genotype was supenor to the SS genotype, too. It meant that ethanol as environmental factor might be the selective factor on ADH locus in natural populat~ons of D meionogoster.
