| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we applied QTL mapping to the hybrids between Carabus blaptoides subspecies with a different body color. One QTL scan showed some LOD peaks in the green and blue colors on the linkage groups, which implied existences of the genetic regions associated with the beetle colors. Two QTL scan suggested that epistatic regions may exist in the linkage groups. These QTL may be the genetic background of the body color of Carabus blaptoides.
