| Importance | Agriculture, Model Organism, Systematics |
| Impact | Evolutionary Branching, Novel Behaviour, Novel Senses |
| Justification | Heliothis virescens and Heliothis subflexa are closely related species that can be crossed in the laboratory but differ in host range, pheromone signals, behavior, and morphology. Both are agricultural pests.
BAC libraries exist and the strains used to make these libraries are still in culture. Inbred strains are being produced. An AFLP map of the genome exists and QTL for pheromonal communication and host range have been identified. |
