The northern corn rootworm (Diabrotica barberi) and Mexican corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera zeae) are significant agricultural pests. For the northern corn rootworm, and to a lesser extent, the Mexican corn rootworm, high resolution molecular markers are needed. Here we present 14 polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from libraries constructed using pooled northern and Mexican corn rootworm genomic DNA. Polymorphism in other Diabrotica, including the banded cucumber beetle, southern corn rootworm and western corn rootworm, is described.
北方玉米根萤叶甲（Diabrotica barberi）和墨西哥玉米根萤叶甲（Diabrotica virgifera zeae）是重要的农业害虫。对于北方玉米根萤叶甲，以及在较小程度上，墨西哥玉米根萤叶甲，需要高分辨率的分子标记。在这里，我们从使用北方和墨西哥玉米根萤叶甲基因组 DNA 构建的混合文库中分离出了 14 个多态性微卫星标记。还描述了其他 Diabrotica 物种（包括带条黄瓜叶甲、南方玉米根萤叶甲和西部玉米根萤叶甲）的多态性。
