Linkage analysis. Biphasic genetic linkage analysis was initiated with single-pair reciprocal crosses between F0 adults, with either a resistant Bt4-R2 female and a susceptible APHIS-S male (shown here) or a susceptible APHIS-S female and a resistant Bt4-R2 male. The resulting F1 progeny were backcrossed in single pairs with the resistant Bt4-R2 strain. Backcross (BC) progeny were tested either on diet containing 1 microgram Cry2Ab per mL diet or control diet. Survivors from 10 reciprocal backcross families (five F1 ♀ X Bt4-R2 ♂ and five Bt4-R2 ♀ X F1 ♂) were weighed and genotyped with allele-specific PCR.
