Abstract excerpt

The grain aphid Sitobion avenae (F.) was collected from winter wheat and adjacent cocksfoot grass at two locations in southern England and at four times in the year (April-July). Genetic variation between individual aphids was then investigated using random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase ch...
