Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Molecular Ecology Notes 4 (2), 204-205
Abstract: Five microsatellite loci are presented for Helicoverpa armigera. These microsatellite loci were obtained through the construction of enriched libraries, overcoming previously reported difficulties with obtaining microsatellites from H. armigera and other Lepidoptera due to the low frequency of microsatellites in their genomes. The description of a further five microsatellite loci for H. armigera makes microsatellite based population genetics studies feasible.
