Molecular Characterization of Host Strains of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Southern Brazil
2008-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a Neotropical species found from Argentina to the United States of America. In its distribution area, two genetically distinct strains are found that differ in their plant host distribution. The strains are morphologically identical, and they can only be reliably distinguished by molecular markers. In this study, we characterized caterpillars collecte...
