The invention discloses a method which can rapidly identify liriomyza approximate species by PCR-RFLP technology, which belongs to the
insect species identification technical field. The method includes: (1) the
DNA extraction of liriomyza trifolii, Americanliriomyza and
South American liriomyza samples; (2) obtaining
DNA sequence of 805bp by the PCR reaction of COII
gene according to
insect COII
gene universal primers; (3) obtaining the COII sequence respectively through the clone, the transformation and the sequencing; (4) the selection of restriction
endonuclease DraI; (5) the distinction of three approximate liriomyzas through a
restriction map. The invention has the characteristics of accuracy, stability, fastness, cheapness, etc. And the invention can be applied in related departments of
quarantine inspection, forecast, prevention, etc. to realize the
rapid detection on the three approximate liriomyzas.
