Genetics of esterases and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in the Anopheles maculatus complex. 1986

S G Tan, and C A Green, and R G Andre, and V Baimai, and L W Pang

Electromorphic variation for some esterases and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase enzymes in the Anopheles maculatus complex is controlled by four loci which are unlinked to sex. Esterase loci are linked to each other: Est-1-36%-Est-4-16.5%-Est-3; but unlinked to Pgd-2. Linkage data were obtained by selfing the F1 generation from selected parents and analysing genotypes in the F2; the classical dihybrid-cross. The analysis consists of testing observed data for goodness of fit to a) ratios expected from Mendelian ratios without linkage and b) if they do not fit then computing a likely degree of linkage and computing expected ratios with such linkage for further tests. Confidence limits are given for the most likely levels of linkage. This method can provide useful information for population-genetic studies on anopheline mosquitoes, whose laboratory rearing is generally difficult. Through indirect evidence, the enzyme loci are correlated to polytene chromosomes. The esterases probably lie on chromosome three (polytene arms 3 and 4) and Pgd-2 on the second chromosome (arms 2 and 5).
