Abstract excerpt
In an effort to gain greater insight into the nature of the population genetic structure of the pest insect Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), tobacco cutworms were collected from six Korean and five Chinese localities, and their mitochondrial A+T-rich region and nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) were cloned and sequenced. The A+T-rich region and nuclear ITS2 provided a maximum sequence...
