Background: Photosynthesizing tissue of teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) foliage is damaged by a host-specific insect pest called leaf skeletonizer (Eutectona machaeralis Walker) that severely eclipses annual growth increment and carbon sequestration of natural populations and plantation of teak. Gene-a...
