Abstract: | Sequence comparisons were made for 738-bp of mtDNA cloned from seven greenbug, Schizaphis graminum, biotypes (B, C, E, F, G, H and I) obtained from laboratory colonies maintained by USDA-ARS, Stillwater, OK. These sequences include parts of the genes for 16S ribosomal subunit (16S rRNA), tRNAleu, tRNAser, cytochrome b (cytb) and NADH dehydrogenase (ND) subunits one and four. Sequence data revealed considerable variation in 86 (12%) nucleotide sites over the 738-bp sequenced among the seven greenbug biotypes. Nucleotide invariance was observed within the seven greenbug biotypes from both the laboratory colonies and field collected biotype E greenbugs from Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. |
