Abstract:Insect population biocontrol methods such as the sterile insect technique (SIT), represent promising alternatives to traditional pesticide-based control applications. To use these strategies efficiently requires scalable sex separation techniques which are currently lacking inDrosophila suzukii, a prominent crop pest species. Having previously characterized a fluorescence-based sex-sorting technique in other pests, termed SEPARATOR (SexingElementProduced byAlternativeRNA-splicing ofA TransgenicObservableReport… Show more
