Genetic Compatibility Of Aedes (Protomacleaya) Triseriatus With A. (P.) Brelandi And A. (P.) Hendersoni (Diptera: Culicidae)., David B. Taylor
Genetic Compatibility Of Aedes (Protomacleaya) Triseriatus With A. (P.) Brelandi And A. (P.) Hendersoni (Diptera: Culicidae)., David B. Taylor
David B Taylor
Interspecific hybridization was used to examine reproductive compatibility of Aedes (Protomacleaya) triseriatus (Say) with Aedes (P .) brelandi Zavortink and Aedes (P.) hendersoni Cockerell. Most male progeny were sterile intersexes when A. brelandi or A. hendersoni males were crossed with A. triseriatus females. Female hybrids, and males from the reciprocal crosses, were morphologically normal and fertile. Varying percentages of intersex males were observed among progeny when normal F1 hybrids were crossed to either parental species or with other hybrids. Egg and female sterility resulting from a partial incompatibility between A. triseriatus cytoplasm and A. brelandi male-determining chromosome was observed. No …
