Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis as well as the mode of inheritance of polyandry in Spodoptera exigua Hübner was studied in the laboratory by using a simple divergent selection experiment followed by F1 reciprocal crosses, F2 and backcrosses. There was an effective response to artificial selection for high (H line) and low (L line) female mating frequency with significant separation of the lines by the second generation of...
