Characterization of microsatellite loci in Cacopsylla melanoneura Förster (Homoptera: Psyllidae)
Molecular Ecology Notes 7 (3), 495-497
Abstract: Cacopsylla melanoneura is one of the main vectors of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma mali'. We developed and described 10 microsatellite markers. Forty-five psyllids from one population were analysed. The number of alleles ranged from six to 24 and the observed heterozygosity from 0.42 to 0.84. These markers will be useful tools for population genetic studies on C. melanoneura.
