Developing transgenic sexing strains for the release of non-transgenic sterile male codling moths Cydia pomonella
Original language description
Sterile insect technique for management of lepidopteran pest populations is based on bisexual releases. Male-only releases of codling moth Cydia pomonella have never been tested in the field, due to the lack of efficient ways to separate males from females or produce only males. Recently, a new approach for the development of genetic sexing strains in Lepidoptera has been proposed. It is based on the construction of transgenic females carrying a dominant conditional lethal mutation in the W chromosome.This paper describes the principle of the proposed transgenic approach and discusses its benefits, environmental safety, and other potential concerns. It also summarizes molecular and cytogenetic tools available for the development of genetic sexing strains in the codling moth.
