Co-culturing the 12.5 kD-containing gel strip with explants from substantia nigra at a close distance for a week revealed anti-dopamine immunopositive neurites outgrowing from the explants only towards the 12.5-kD gel strip.

The cause and the effect of this phenomenon were discussed. As a result, it is suggested that a mechanism which maintains mtDNA diversity exists in this fly, and that the high intra-populational polymorphism could numerically conceal the extent of differentiation between populations. In addition, on the base of restriction maps, it was found that the mtDNA molecule of D. albomicans might be impacted by the selection pressure during its evolution process both on the nucleotide composition and on the functional regions.</p>","PeriodicalId":21648,"journal":{"name":"Science in China.
