i5K Comments for Phyllotreta nemorum
The Flea beetle Phyllotreta nemorum is both a widespread pest organism as one of the model organisms of the geographic mosaic of co-evolution(Thompson, 2005). Some Danish populations are resistant to the crucifer Barbarea vulgaris while it is toxic for most other populations. It was shown that the resistance has a genetic basis and that it is inherited via one or more dominate gene(s). Furthermore it was shown that it can be autosomally as well as sex-linked inherited depending on the populations tested. Essential for understanding the evolution of host plant use by phytophagous insects is the genetic basis of host preference, acceptance and performance traits. Sequencing the genome of this species is essential for the elucidation of this genetic basis. Abundant genetic material is available via our laboratory. Patrick Verbaarschot
