Abstract:
... The study examined the genetic diversity and demographic history of Bactrocera dorsalis, a destructive and polyphagous insect pest of fruit crops in diverse geographic regions of India. 19 widely dispersed populations of the fly from India and other Asian countries were analysed using partial sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (cox1) and NADH dehydrogenase 1 (nad1) genes to investigat ...

Abstract:
... Genetic options for the control of invasive fishes were recently reviewed and synthesized at a 2010 international symposium, held in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, USA. The only option currently available “off-the-shelf” is triploidy, which can be used to produce sterile males for a release program analogous to those widely and successfully used for biological control of insect pests. However, the Troj ...

Abstract:
... Brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive insect pests of rice. Wild species of rice are a valuable source of resistance genes for developing resistant cultivars. A molecular marker-based genetic analysis of BPH resistance was conducted using an F₂ population derived from a cross between an introgression line, ‘IR71033-121-15', from Oryza minuta (Accession number 101141) and a suscept ...

Subject:
Diptera; insect pests; mitochondrial DNA; transfer RNA; nucleotide sequences; genes; DNA primers; genetic techniques and protocols
Abstract:
... Despite the successful use of universal primers for amplifying insect mtDNA, specific regions remain difficult to recover and demand the use of taxon-specific primers. In this work, we describe a new set of primers for efficiently amplifying and sequencing the mtDNA control region and three tRNA gene clusters of dipterans of medical and veterinary importance, including Muscidae, Calliphoridae, and ...

Abstract:
... Corn stalk borer Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is among the most important insect pests of corn in the Mediterranean basin. The mitochondrial DNA of this insect was purified and a restriction map was constructed. The size of the mtDNA genome is 16.3 kb. Genetic analysis of four corn stalk borer populations, collected from Greece (three populations) and Spain (one populat ...

Abstract:
... Aphids maintain mutualistic symbioses involving consortia of coinherited organisms. All possess a primary endosymbiont, Buchnera, which compensates for dietary deficiencies; many also contain secondary symbionts, such as Hamiltonella defensa, which confers defense against natural enemies. Genome sequences of uncultivable secondary symbionts have been refractory to analysis due to the difficulties ...

Abstract:
... Griffonia simplicifolia II, an N-acetylglucosamine-specific legume lectin, has insecticidal activity when fed to the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.). A cDNA clone encoding G. simplicifolia II was isolated from a leaf cDNA library, sequenced, and expressed in a bacterial expression system. The recombinant protein exhibited N-acetylglucosamine-binding and insecticidal activity against c ...
