Abstract excerpt
The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stal is a key pest of rice in Asia, causing extensive crop losses and transmitting major viruses. We analysed mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) sequences from 63 field-collected samples representing 21 populations across ten states to understand its genetic structure across India's diverse agroclimatic zones. Our analysis revealed two highly conserved haplotypes,...
