Barcode in the field of insect biology
Bar code may appear in supermarkets and other stores sales labels and scanners.But scientists in the United States department of
agriculture using the "DNA bar code" to monitoring insect, destroying crops, such as wheat, barley and potatoes and so on.
In DNA bar codes, scientists specifies an organism's genome by sequence , bar code system is produced by it and other closely
related species of DNA. DNA bar code is developing a wide range of plants and animals .
The invasive pests biological control in the institution and the behavior laboratory in Maryland, agricultural research service (ARS),
an entomologist at Matthew turquoise, in unconventional ways, using DNA bar code to identify the best equipment, to control
the Colorado potato beetle, this is the the most destructive pests natural enemy of potatoes in the eastern United States.
ARS is the main campus of the United States department and agriculture scientific research institution to support the United States
agriculture department and to promote agricultural sustainable development goals.
Many study the intestinal contents of predatory insects , in the evaluation of them in one area, to control the ability of pests.But
the predators digesting prey at different rates, such a simple intestinal analysis is not accurate enough to compare the effectiveness
of the natural enemies.Fine-tuning techniques have been used for green jade, the use of bar code to analyze how different insects
digest their prey quickly .
He and his colleagues collected four potato beetle predators, how long they proposed a potato beetle and laboratory determination
of insect pest , the bar code DNA testing can be in "predators" guts.
