title: Association of alleles of the malic dehydrogenase locus with a pericentric inversion in Drosophila robusta.
abstract: Associations of Malic dehydrogenase alleles with the third chromosome arrangement 3R and the pericentric arrangement 3L-R are described. Even though significant associations between alleles and inversions exist within a population, there is an overall similarity in MDH allele frequencies in different populations inspite of large differences in inversion frequencies.
