i5K Comments for Helicoverpa zea
Helicoverpa zea and related Heliothinae moths are significant agricultural pests worldwide. These moths epitomize insects with a suite of “pest” phenotypes that include resistance to plant allelochemicals and xenobiotics, polyphagy, high mobility and fecundity, and diapause. Comparative analyses of heliothine genomes will lead to discovery of genomic mechanisms underlying adaptive evolution contributing to the success of insect herbivorous pests. This approach will also provide the means for averting adaptive evolution to pest management strategies. Howard W. Fescemyer
