Locus-wise data on the number of alleles (Na), number of effective alleles (Ne), mean observed (Mean Ho) and expected (Mean He) heterozygosities, F statistics, and Hardy-Wienberg Equilibrium (HWE) obtained by analyzing seven populations of Spodoptera exigua.
<p>Among four loci (Table 2),
Spe09 had the highest number of alleles, whereas Spe06 had the lowest. Average
observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.007 to 0.172 and from 0.194
to 0.767, respectively. Locus Spe02 had the highest observed heterozygosity and
locus Spe06 had the lowest observed heterozygosity. Loci Spe11 and Spe06 had
the highest and lowest expected heterozygosity, respectively. </p><p>
</p><p>The highest values of F<sub>is</sub>
and F<sub>it</sub> were detected in Spe09 and the lowest on Spe02. F<sub>st </sub>values
ranged from 0.123 to 0.346, detected in Spe06 and Spe02 loci, respectively. All
four loci showed departures from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. </p
Distance genetic matrix (above diagonal) and population pairwise FST of 7 tested regions comparison by 4 microsatellites loci (below diagonal).
<p>Genetic
distance and pair-wise FST values between regions are shown in Table 5. The
minimum genetic distance was found between the Moghan-Zarghan pair (0.116) and
the maximum between the Esfahan-Sabzvar pair (0.722). Computed FST values
ranged from 0.102 for the Kalposh-Miandoab to 0.349 for the Moghan-Esfahan. FST
values were significant for all paired combinations (P < 0.05).<br></p
Results from the Bayesian clustering analysis in STRUCTURE, using k=2. Each population represented by a vertical line with different colors representing the assignments probabilities to each of the clusters.
<p>We inferred population structure using a Bayesian
clustering algorithm as implemented in the software STRUCTURE (Pritchard et al.
2000, Falush et al. 2003). The most probable number of genetic clusters based
on the log probability of the data was inferred following the method of Evanno
et al. (2005). We varied the number of genetic clusters (K) from 1 to 10 and
ran 10 independent simulations for each k with a burn-in period of 50,000
iterations, followed by 50,000 Markov chain Monte Carlo steps. For all
simulations, the admixture model was used. The distribution
of log- likelihoods for the number of genetic clusters (K) from the Bayesian
clustering analysis with STRUCTURE peaked at estimates of k=2. In this k, 52.9
% of individuals could be assigned to one of the clusters with more than 50%
probability. The
∆k method by Evanno et al (2005) favored k=2 than the others, with a seven–fold
higher value of ∆k. The assignment of this cluster with respect to population
is illustrated in Fig. 3. The most individuals collected from Gonbad and
Esfahan regions were assigned to cluster 1; whereas, individuals assigned with
high probability to cluster 2 were found in Moghan, Sabzvar and Zarghan
regions. Most individuals from Kalposh and Miandoab regions were assigned in
cluster 2.</p><p></p><p></p
The Map of Iran showing the collection sites of Spodoptera exigua
We used of pheromone trap (Green Universe Company
of Espain) for collection of specimens. Male adults of <i>S. exigua</i> were captured from
sugar beet fields in seven locations in Iran: Kalposh, Gonbad, Esfahan,
Sabzvar, Moghan, Miandoab and Zarghan during May 201
The correlation between pairwise Fst and geographic distance based on log (km) among populations of Spodoptera exigua.
Mantel test for matrix correspondence was performed using GENALEX 6.5 (Peakall and Smouse 2006) by 9999 permutations to test the occurrence of a positive correlation (Rxy>0) between the pairwise Fst and geographic distance based on log (km).The Mantel test (Fig. 2) revealed no significant correlation between pairwise Fst and geographic distance (r=0.148; P=0.246) across the whole sampled regions
