| description | Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is one of the most invasive pests around the world, causing
significant economic losses to corn and rice farmers. In September 2019, the Department of
Agriculture (DOA), Sarawak, Malaysia has confirmed the presence of S. frugiperda in corn
fields of Kuching, Sarawak. This study aimed to identify the host strain of 15 S. frugiperda
isolates from Serian and Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, using the mitochondrial cytochrome
oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene marker. Based on the CO1 sequence, corn and rice strain of S.
frugiperda were identified among the 15 S. frugiperda isolates. Based on the migration pattern
of S. frugiperda, it appears that only corn strain migrated to Asian countries; thus, this study
proposes that interstrain hybrid may be presence in corn fields of Serian and Kota Samarahan.
CO1 gene alone is ineffective to identify the host strain of S. frugiperda. Therefore, further
study should include the nuclear sex-linked triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) gene sequence in
addition to CO1 gene sequence for more conclusive host strain identification of S. frugiperda. |
