A Ds-suppressed Adh mutant was isolated by the allyl alcohol pollen selection

technique. The mutant produces a reduced level of an altered thermolabile

enzyme suggesting that the Ds element is inserted in the Adh structural gene.

The mutant protein is enzymatically active and does not differ detectably in

size from the progenitor protein. A number of possible explanations for the data

are presented.
