Authors: H.M. Lopes, C.S. Bastos, L.S. Boiteux, J. Foresti and F.A. Suinaga
Helicoverpa armigera is the most significant pest of agriculture in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australasia, causing damage to crops greater than US$2 billion annually and until 2013 it was not detected in Brazil. Helicoverpa zea is restricted to the American continent and is important to corn and a secondary pest of cotton and .. Read More»

Cross-species amplification and polymorphism of microsatellite loci in Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Brazilian cropping systems
Authors: N.A. Leite, A.S. Corr�?ªa, A. Alves-Pereira, J.B. Campos, M.I. Zucchi and C. Omoto
The Old World bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) was recently discovered in Brazil. This species is closely related to the New World bollworm H. zea (Boddie), and mating between these species has already been reported under laboratory conditions. Here, we tested the cross-species amplification of 20 microsatellite (SS.. Read More»
