Birkle L M, Douglas A E
Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum was investigated by a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of three maternally inherited genomes (mitochondrial DNA and plasmids of the symbiotic bacteria Buchnera). Twenty-nine parthenogenetic clones of three A. pisum biotypes, defined by their capacity to use the legume crops pea, alfalfa and red clover, respectively, were analysed, and...
