A draft Diabrotica virgifera virgifera genome: insights into control and host plant adaption by a major maize pest insect

Abstract Background Adaptations by arthropod pests to host plant defenses of crops determine their impacts on agricultural production. The larval host range of western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is restricted to maize and a few grasses. Resistance of D...
