Abstract excerpt

Allozyme variation was studied in three Nilaparvata lugens biotypes infesting specific rice varieties and a biotype infesting a weed grass, Leersia hexandra. Of the 20 enzymes in N. lugens for which activity was noted, 9 were polymorphic. Eleven enzyme loci were monomorphic for the same allele in...
