“…Originally, a diagnostic esterase allozyme marker and three other significantly strain‐biased protein variants were discovered by an electrophoretic survey of allozyme variation in samples from corn fields and rice paddies (Pashley et al , 1985; Pashley, 1986). Subsequently, several additional strain‐biased or strain‐diagnostic molecular markers have been identified: the two strains differ in several DNA sequence variants in the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I and ND1 genes (Pashley, 1989; Pashley & Ke, 1992; Lu & Adang, 1996; Meagher & Gallo‐Meagher, 2003; Nagoshi et al , 2006a), strain‐biased and strain‐specific amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers (McMichael & Prowell, 1999; Busato et al , 2004; Prowell et al , 2004), and the FR repetitive nuclear DNA sequence extensively present in the rice strain and mostly absent from the corn strain (Lu et al , 1994; Nagoshi & Meagher, 2003b; Nagoshi et al , 2008). To date, no diagnostic morphological features have been described that distinguish these two strains, but they differ in a number of physiological, developmental, and behavioural features (Pashley, 1988b; Pashley et al , 1992, 1995; Veenstra et al , 1995; Groot et al , 2008; Lima & McNeil, 2009; G.
