| Abstract: | Esterase
activity of various populations of Spodoptera litura, collected from
cotton fields of different regions of
Tamil
Nadu, was compared using a- and f3-naphthyl acetate as substrates for enzyme
reaction. Among the ten
populations
analyzed, five populations showed elevated activities for esterases. The
RAPD-PCR analysis of resistant
and
susceptible populations revealed the existence of polymorphism. Specific
amplification for esterase gene using
custom made primers produced amplified product in
resistant populations. |
