Comparative influence of Odh and Adh loci on alcohol Katalin Bokor Katalin Pecsenye* Department of Evolutionary Zoology, Kossuth L. University, Debrecen, H-4010 Hungary (Received 28 November 1997; accepted 9 September 1998) Abstract - The effect of ethanol on larva-to-pupa and larva-to-adult survival was compared in ten laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster. The strains had five different allele combinations at the Adh and Odh loci. Two parallel strains of the five two-locus genotypes were isolated from different isofemale lines, and they had different genetic backgrounds.
