Summary The survival time of adultDrosophila melanogaster flies without food is greater in the presence of ethanol, especially for flies of strains or lines with a higher alcohol dehydrogenase activity. It seems that theebony gene can act in some populations as a selective factor favoring the ADHF allele, as well as the minor genes enhancing the alcohol dehydrogenase activity level.Chargé de Recherches au F.
