Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic modifications provide a means for aphid biotype development that a lack of genetic variation, owing to an anholocyclic reproduction lifecycle, fails to do. Here we present data on the DNA methylation status in four South African Russian wheat aphids (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjomov) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) biotypes expressing different levels of virulence against its host, Triticum aestivum L. (Poales:...
