Abstract:Connecting genetic variation to phenotypes and understanding the underlying biological mechanisms has been a fundamental goal of biological genetics. Here, we used the association analysis to identify a Vip3Aa resistance-associated genomic region in a strain of fall armyworm, JC-R, which exhibits >5000-fold resistance to the Bt toxin Vip3Aa. However, through various analytical approaches and fine-scale mapping across different populations, we demonstrated that this genomic region exhibits strong genetic lin… Show more
