Toward the Development of the Trojan Female Technique in Pest Insects: Male‐Specific Influence of Mitochondrial Haplotype on Reproductive Output in the Seed Beetle Acanthoscelides... by Lea Vlajnić, Uroš Savković, Jelena Jović, Sanja Budečević, Biljana Stojković, Mirko Đorđević

“…TFT is based on the evolutionary hypothesis that, due to maternal inheritance of mitochondria, mutations which are beneficial or neutral in females but harmful in males can accumulate in the mitochondrial genome without selection acting against them. Although TFT has been theoretically substantiated, empirical work to date has focused only on Drosophila melanogaster populations, while the existence of male‐biased mutations and the TFT approach in economically important pest species remain unexplored. …”
