Turnip sawfly (Athalia rosae)
Contact: Masatsugu Hatakeyama
Researchers involved: 20
Size (or size of nearest relative): 280 MBp
Keywords (and why important): Evolutionary branching, (agriculture, model organism).
No genome information of primitive hymenoptera (Symphyta, sawfly) is available vs higher suborder (Apocrita, Apis, Nasonia etc.). This species is a hymenopteran model maintained in laboratory through year.
Tools such that transgenesis, systemic RNAi, artificial egg activation, artificial fertilization by cryopreserved sperm injection, etc. are established.
DNA from a single haploid male (10-15 icrogram/male) and from haploid offspring from a single mother (30-50 males) are available anytime.
