“…2 and 3), and presumably in all other species of the tortricid subfamilies Olethreutinae and Tortricinae, which comprise almost 700 economically important pests worldwide (30). Whereas Rdl orthologs conferring resistance to cyclodiene insecticides are also Z-linked in other Lepidoptera (31,32), the Ace-1 and ABCC2 associated with insensitivity to organophosphates and carbamates, and resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis toxin Cry1Ab, respectively, are assignable to the autosomal linkage group corresponding to B. mori chromosome 15 in distantly related species (15,(33)(34)(35). By contrast, in most tortricids, the sex-linkage of these two genes is thus a direct consequence of F(Z;15).…”
