Population genomics reveals population structure and local adaptation of the <scp><i>Helicoverpa armigera</i></scp> lineage in Xinjiang, China
Helicoverpa armigera from Shawan and Kashi are genetically differentiated from each other and from other Xinjiang populations at the whole-genome level. Despite some evidence of introgression, they also show evidence for local adaptation in genes related to detoxification, various stress tolerances and development. Management strategies against H. armigera in Xinjiang should consider these regional differences. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
