MEC-13-0732 raw data

The file contains ingested plant species/Groups detected in wireworms (Agriotes larvae, Elateridae, Coleoptera) - seven plants were targeted and the wireworms were identified molecularly to species Level. They were collected in perennial grasslands in Central Europe, Tyrol, Austria in summer 2008 and 2009

Plant species list used for determining sensitivity of multiplex (FLPS, LF, TAT, TZ) and singleplex assays (Plantago, Apiaceae, Poaceae).

<p>Lowest detection rates achieved are given in number of template copies.</p

Relative location of primer binding sites on the <i>trn</i>T-F cpDNA region.

<p>At the base of each figure is a size marker, which indicates a sequence length of 50 bp. (<b>A</b>) Positions of the family specific primers for Poaceae (above) and Apiaceae (below): The dotted lines represent the known sequence, the dashed lines the second exon of <i>trn</i>L and the exon of <i>trn</i>F, and the thick bars symbolise the primer binding sites. (<b>B</b>) Position of the genus- and species specific primers: The dotted lines represent the known sequence, the inner bars indicate the position of the two <i>trn</i>L exons and the outer bars the position of the <i>trn</i>T and the <i>trn</i>F gen. The binding sites of primers are indicated by double crosses.</p

Plant species collected in maize fields (M) and perennial grassland (G), which were used to establish the PCR-based identification system.

<p>Target species of the molecular assays are displayed in bold.</p
