Abstract
The modes of inheritance for allozymes of xanthine dehydrogenase (Xdh), hexokinase (Hk), malate dehydrogenase (Mdh), and an esterase (Est-m) were determined by electrophoretic analyses of specimens from intra- and intersubspecific crosses of Diabrotica longicornis longicornis (Say) and D. I. barberi Smith and Lawrence. Comparisons of P1 and corresponding F1 enzyme patterns provided evidence of co-dominant alleles segregating at autosomal loci for Xdh, Hk, and Mdh. A sex-limited autosomal locus was implicated in the expression of Est-m electromorphs. The data indicate that the various allozyme systems are allelic in the two subspecies.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
