Abstract

Hybrid dysgenesis has been defined as a remarkable syndrome of correlated genetic traits that are produced in some particular crosses between certain strains. The present study main objective was classify recently collected Drosophila melanogaster strains in relation to P element activity and regulatory capacity. Our results to natural populations trapped from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and Colombia shows that it fell on Q class, since all examinated strains has showed P elements by molecular analysis and low P activity. In the same way, these strains shows low susceptibility to P element action. The bigger values found in the colombian population are in agreement with the clinal hypothesis to P element activity.
