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
