Genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships among six populations of corn borers in China.

Biochemical genetics - 1 Aug 1998

Abstract excerpt

The genetic variation among and within six populations of the corn borer was determined by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Extensive genetic variability was detected. Of the 802 RAPD markers obtained, 781 (97.4%) were polymorphic among populations. Genetic similarities and...
