Genetic variability and selection for inducibility at the amylase locus in Drosophila melanogaster

抄録

"Inducibility" represents the effects of all the factors which control the amount of an enzyme production, amylase in this study, but does not contain the effects of the difference in the structure gene. "Inducibility", which turned out to be polymorphic in natural populations of D. melanogaster, was significantly correlated with fitness and responded positively to natural selection.
