Characterization of the First W-Specific Protein-Coding Gene for Sex Identification in Helicoverpa armigera

Helicoverpa armigera is a globally-important crop pest with a WZ (female)/ZZ (male) sex chromosome system. The absence of discernible sexual dimorphism in its egg and larval stages makes it impossible to address any sex-related theoretical and applied questions before pupation unless a W-specific se...
