Acquisition of a potential marker for insect transformation: isolation of a novel alcohol dehydrogenase gene from Bactrocera oleae by functional complementation in yeastP Benos
Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, FORTH, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Mol Gen Genet 263:90-5. 2000..Using this method, we have cloned an alcohol dehydrogenase gene from the olive pest Bactrocera oleae. We conclude that functional complementation in yeast can be used to clone alcohol dehydrogenase genes that ..
