Differential Part

Linkage group I is defined as the loci on the differential part of the X-chromosome of adult Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood. Three loci are known and their order on the X-chromosome has been demonstrated as ocra (body color), salmon (eye color), and Apk (arginine phosphokinase, E.C. 2.7.3.3) with 38 map units separating the first two loci and 32 to 41 separating the second two. This region of the X-chromosome does not contain the chromosomal inversion known to occur in the Handeni line of G. m. morsitans. Linkage group II is defined as the autosome carrying the locus Xo (xanthine oxidase, E.C. 1.2.3.2), and it is demonstrated to carry also the loci Ao (aldehyde oxidase, E.C. 1.2.3.1) and Odh (octanol dehydrogenase, E.C. 1.1.1.73). Ao and Odh are within 0.36 map units of each other and have not been separated by recombination; this pair of loci occur about 48 map units from Xo. During mapping experiments, no evidence for genetical recombination was found in male G. m. morsitans.

Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase

In Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood the locus for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, G6pd, was found to be in linkage group I, approximately 35 to 42 map units to the left of ocra, the locus for body color. The locus for midgut alkaline phosphatase, Alkph, was found to be in linkage group II, within 0.41 map units of the locus for xanthine oxidase, Xo. The distance from Xo to the locus for aldehyde oxidase, Ao, was confirmed to be about 42 map units. No evidence for genetical recombination was found in male G. m. morsitans.

Standard mapping procedures were used to map four loci in linkage group I (the X chromosome), two loci in linkage group II, and two loci in linkage group III of Glossina morsitans submorsitans. In the presence of the allele Srd (the distorter allele favoring production of female offspring), no recombination occurred between any of the following loci: Pgm (phosphoglucomutase), wht (white eye color), Est-X (a thoracic esterase), and Sr (sex-ratio distortion). However, in the absence of Srd (i.e., in females homozygous for Srn, the allele that permits males to sire both female and male offspring in approximately equal numbers), the loci Pgm and wht were separated by 23 ± 4.0% recombination (map distance). These results indicate that ourG. m. submorsitans strains carry two forms of the X chromosome, designated XA and XB. In support of this interpretation, two lines of G. m. submorsitans were established: in both lines, males with wild-type eyes sired families that were almost exclusively female, while males with white eyes sired families having males and females in approximately equal numbers. Two loci, Ao (aldehyde oxidase) and Est-1 (a thoracic esterase) were separated by 6.1 ± 2.3% recombination in linkage group II, and two loci, Mdh (malate dehydrogenase) and Pgi (phosphoglucose isomerase), showed 51.9 ± 4.9% recombination in linkage group III.

In Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood, linkage group III is defined as the autosome carrying the locus Mdh (malic dehydrogenase), the only locus so far identified in this linkage group. The locus αGpd.2 (α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase) was located 45 map units (MU) to the left of Xo (xanthine oxidase) and the loci Est.1 and Est.2 (loci for two esterases found in the thorax) were mapped approximately 5–10 MU to the right of Ao (aldehyde oxidase) in linkage group II. The location of G6pd (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) has been confirmed to be approximately 37 MU to the left of oc (ocra body color) in linkage group I and it was shown that this region of the X chromosome does not involve the large paracentric inversion found in the Handeni line. A genetic map for 12 loci in the three linkage groups found in G. m. morsitans is presented.Key words: Diptera, Glossina, mapping, inversion, isozymes.

Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead and Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood carrying two marker genes on the X chromosome, two in linkage group II, and one in linkage group III were hybridized. About 17% of the F1 and from 33 to 56% of the backcross males fertilized G. m. submorsitans, but only one F1 and two backcross males fertilized G. m. morsitans. Similarly, F1 and backcross females were fertilized by G. m. submorsitans but rarely by G. m. morsitans. Chromosomal composition of F1 and backcross males indicated that hybrid male sterility is due to incompatibility of the X chromosome from one subspecies and the Y from the other subspecies or possibly an incompatibility between X chromosomes and autosomes from different subspecies. Results are discussed in the context of a model for evolution of X and Y incompatibility and a model for evolution of maternally inherited factors that cause unidirectional sterility in males. In hybrid females, intrachromosomal recombination was suppressed in the X chromosome and in linkage group II. Fertility of backcross females, mated to G. m. submorsitans, could not be related to the chromosomal composition of the females.Key words: Glossina, hybrid sterility, tsetse, X chromosomes.

The locus for phosphoglucomutase (Pgm) was mapped at less than 1.2 recombination units from the locus for arginine phophokinase (Apk) in linkage group I, the X chromosome. Linkage group III loci were mapped in the order sabr (long scutellar apical bristles in females), Mdh (malate dehydrogenase), and Pgi (glucose-6-phosphate isomerase). The loci sabr and Mdh were separated by 39.3 ± 4.6 recombination units, and Mdh and Pgi were separated by 45.5 ± 4.7 recombination units. Intrachromosomal recombination was rare or did not occur in males. Previously published recombination distances are summarized as a linkage map for the 16 loci that have been mapped in Glossina morsitans morsitans.Key words: tsetse, linkage map, phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase.

AbstractPolyacrylamide gel (6%) electrophoresis (at pH 8.2) of the thoraces of adult Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood revealed three xanthine oxidase (XO) phenotypes and six aldehyde oxidase (AO) phenotypes. Each enzyme was postulated to be under the control of a single locus, XO with two alleles and AO with three alleles. Gene frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for both loci in two laboratory populations. Breeding experiments provided direct evidence for single locus control of each enzyme. No significant differences in phenotype frequencies were observed between the colony maintained at the University of Alberta, Canada and the parent colony at the University of Bristol, England. A colony of highly inbred flies from the University of Bristol had only one phenotype of AO and of XO.

Two Stages

Inheritance of DDT resistance has been studied in crosses between the highly resistant ‘T’ strain of A. aegypti (constituted by inbreeding from the TRINIDAD DDT-resistant stock) and the ‘64’ susceptible strain.Larval DDT resistance derives from a major gene RDDT1 on linkage group II, the order being RDDT1–s–y. Linkage group III may also contribute to larval resistance. Linkage group I makes no contribution.Adult DDT resistance derives from a major gene RDDT2, 18·2 ± 2·1 units from the market blt on linkage group III. Linkage group II has no influence on adult resistance.Selection with DDT to retain only RDDT1/+ segregants in larvae of backcrosses RDDT1/+×+/+ did not increase resistance in resulting adults, confirming the difference in genetic mechanism at the two stages.The F1 progenies from reciprocal crosses between ‘T’ and ‘64’ differed slightly but significantly in larval resistance, modifying the influence of the major gene RDDT1 in the heterozygote.The early developmental stages of the RDDT1/+ phenotype (up to the fourth larval stage) were more viable than the +/+ phenotype in backcross segregation. The difference in mortality probably exceeded 30%.

AbstractPolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the thoraces of adult Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood revealed five octanol dehydrogenase (ODH, E.C. 1.1.1.73) phenotypes (and a sixth was predicted) in males and females, two arginine phosphokinase (APK, E.C. 2.7.3.3) phenotypes in males and three APK phenotypes in females. Each enzyme was postulated to be under the control of a single locus; Odh with three alleles on an autosome and Apk with two alleles on the X-chromosome. Allele frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in our colony, and breeding experiments provided direct evidence for single locus control of each enzyme. The polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis technique described permits determination of banding patterns for xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, ODH, and APK from a single individual.

Number Of Segments

Data are presented to show the linkage relationships of a number of genes in linkage group II of Tribolium castaneum and a revised map of this linkage group is presented bearing eight well-established points. Some of these points were establishable with the aid of an accidental inversion induced by gamma irradiation. Five additional mutants are also in this linkage group as a result of the revision, but their relative position needs to be established through additional linkage studies. The linkage map suggests the presence of two gene clusters, one affecting the eye color and morphology and the other including homeotic mutants that affect the morphology of the maxillary and labial palps, the thorax, and the abdominal sternites. Data are presented to show that the frequency of recombination for a number of segments in linkage group II is not equal in the two sexes. The literature bearing on the evolution of the karyotype in Tribolium is reviewed, and it is concluded, on the basis of the present evidence, that it is linkage group II and not linkage group IX that became translocated to the X and Y chromosome in a T. castaneum like ancestor to produce the much larger neo-X and neo-Y chromosomes of T. confusum. Key words: Tribolium, linkage, gamma irradiation.
