The Bactrocera dorsalis species complex: comparative cytogenetic analysis in support of Sterile Insect Technique applications

Table 1 The hybridization probes used in the present study and their localization sites on the polytene chromosomes of the five taxa studied from the B. dorsalis species complex.

Gene name	Description	Species of origin	DNA type	Reference	Localization site
*hsp70*	the heat-shock 70 gene	Ceratitis capitata	genomic	[74]	26-3L
*gld*	the glutamate dehydrogenase gene	Ceratitis capitata	genomic	unpublished	6-2L
*scarlet*	the orthologue of the scarlet gene of D. melanogaster	Bactrocera tryoni	genomic	[75]	82-6L
*ovo*	orthologue of the ovo gene of D. melanogaster	Bactrocera oleae	cDNA	unpublished	63-5L
*sxl*	orthologue of the sex lethal gene of D. melanogaster	Bactrocera oleae	cDNA	[76]	78-5R
*tra*	orthologue of the transformer gene of D. melanogaster	Bactrocera oleae	cDNA	[77]	86-6L

The localization site was determined according to the B. dorsalis s.s. polytene maps [50]
