Abstract
THE α-CLYCEROPHOSPHATE-DEHYDROGENASE IN THE MOSOUITO CULEX PIPIENS: HEREDITY, LINKAGE AND POPULATION STUDIES. Culex pipiens α-glycerophosphate-dehydrogenase is coded by an autosomal locus which is shown to have a demonstrable activity in nymphs just prior to imago emergence and in adults of any age and sex. The α-Gpd locus has two codominant alleles, α-Gpd 1.00 and α-Gpd 1.30, and heterozygotes present three isozymes. The α-Gpd locus is localized on the same chromosomes as the two linked esterase loci Est-2 and Est-1, at 37.05 and 44.88 cross-over units, respectively, of these loci. Population studies seem to indicate that the α-Gpd locus has a low variability in Culex pipiens as in most other organisms.
