Abstract
Using the mosquito Aedes aegypti, adult esterase bands were demonstrated on horizontal polyacrylamide gels. Crossing experiments indicated that codominant alleles control the production of these esterases and that the locus concerned is situated on linkage group 11, 29 map units from spot (s) and 1 map unit from adult dieldrin resistance (Rdt).This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
