Article Synopsis
- The study investigates genome conservation in noctuid moths, specifically Helicoverpa armigera and Mamestra brassicae, comparing their chromosome structures through FISH analysis.
- Analysis revealed that synteny and gene order are well-preserved between these two species, indicating that their genomic organization is similar to that of the model organism Bombyx mori for most chromosomes.
- The research establishes a complete karyotype for these noctuid moths and suggests that their chromosome number reflects an ancestral genome arrangement for the Lepidoptera order, paving the way for more extensive genetic studies among different species.
