Research Abstract |
In order to elucidate the coevolution between legume host plants and bruchid seed beetles, we extracted DNA from the seed beetles which were collected in oversea research trips and constructed the phylogenetic trees. Regenerating ancestral traits with statistical analysis, we determined the process from specialization to generalization in several clades. Based on the results, we revealed the coevolutionary processes of generalization of host plant utilization that they could infect their dry matured seeds with detoxing the poisonous chemical substance.
