Abstract excerpt
Hydroxamic acids (Hx) contained in wheat are active mutagens which play an important role in the defence of the plant against aphids. Random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) dominant markers were used to assess genetic variability in the aphid Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) in relation to hydroxamic acid levels in their host-plants. Colonies of aphids belonging to a single RAPD-PCR...
