| development of allele-specific single-nucleotide polymorphism-based polymerase chain reaction markers in cytochrome oxidase i for the differentiation of bactrocera papayae and bactrocera carambolae (diptera: tephritidae). | differentiation of bactrocera papayae drew & hancock and bactrocera carambolae drew & hancock (diptera: tephritidae) based on morphological characters has often been problematical. we describe here a single-nucleotide polymorphism (snp)-based polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay to differentiate between these two species. for detection of snps, fragments derived from each species were amplified using two primer pairs, coif/coir and uea7/uea10, sequenced, and aligned to obtain a contiguous 1,517 ... | 2010 | 21309218 |
| attraction and consumption of methyl eugenol by male bactrocera umbrosa fabricius (diptera: tephritidae) promotes conspecific sexual communication and mating performance. | the artocarpus fruit fly, bactrocera umbrosa (fabricius) (diptera: tephritidae), is an oligophagous fruit pest infesting moraceae fruits, including jackfruit (artocarpus heterophyllus lamarck), a fruit commodity of high value in malaysia. the scarcity of fundamental biological, physiological and ecological information on this pest, particularly in relation to behavioural response to phytochemical lures, which are instrumental to the success of many area-wide fruit fly control and management prog ... | 0 | 28625191 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of three bactrocera fruit flies of subgenus bactrocera (diptera: tephritidae) and their phylogenetic implications. | bactrocera latifrons is a serious pest of solanaceous fruits and bactrocera umbrosa is a pest of artocarpus fruits, while bactrocera melastomatos infests the fruit of melastomataceae. they are members of the subgenus bactrocera. we report here the complete mitochondrial genome of these fruit flies determined by next-generation sequencing and their phylogeny with other taxa of the subgenus bactrocera. the whole mitogenomes of these three species possessed 37 genes namely, 13 protein-coding genes ... | 2016 | 26840430 |
