Abstract
The P-M system of hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster was investigated on the basis of gonadal dysgenesis, using 1,590 strains from 28 natural populations in Japan, and 20 populations from Southeast Asia, the Pacific area and Africa. Strong P strains were found sporadically in several populations in Japan. Few strong M strains were observed. Q strains were present at a high frequency in most populations. Thus, most populations in these areas were regarded as Q populations. The distribution of the P element and the evolution of P, Q and M populations are also discussed.Entities:
