Entomophthorales on cereal aphids

Table 2.2
Commonly used PCR based techniques and their applicability to different problems in characterisation. Techniques marked with * have been used for Entomophthorales (Hodge et al., 1995; Thomsen & Beauvais, 1995; Dowling et al., 1996; Hajek et al., 1996; Jensen et al., 1998; Rohel et al., 1997; Jensen et al., in press; Vestergaard & Eilenberg, in press).


RFLP: Restriction fragment length polymorphism ; SSCP: Single-strand conformation polymorphism; DGGE: Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis; AFLP: Amplified fragment length polymorphism; RAPD: Random amplified polymorphic DNA; UP-PCR: Universal priming – polymerase chain reaction.
