Relative fitness of near isogenic lines for melanic and typical forms of the oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker).

Environmental entomology - 1 Oct 2007

Jiang Xing-Fu, Luo Li-Zhi, Zhang Lei

Abstract excerpt

Melanism in the oriental armyworm Mythimna separata (Walker) is characterized by a black color in adults instead of the normal body color of off-white. Because inheritance of melanism in this moth follows Mendel's law, with the melanic allele (t) recessive to the normal allele (T) at a single autosomal locus, a backcrossing procedure was used to develop near isogenic lines (NILs) for melanic (NILs-tt) and typical...
