Genetic Characterization of Bactrocera (dacus) Flies (diptera: Tephritidae) Based on Rapd-pcr
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genetic characterization of two species of fruit flies belonging to the genus Bactrocera (=Dacus), namely, B. cucurbitae and B. dorsalis was carried out using ten RAPD markers. In B. cucurbitae and B. dorsalis twenty four and twenty one fragments were amplified ranging from 150bp-2000bp, respectively. Four out of ten primers were monomorphic. Mean heterozygosity in B. cucurbitae and B. dorsalis was 0.119 and 0.093, respectively. Nei’s genetic identity value (0.831), calculated using Tools For Population Genetic Analysis (TFPGA) software, reveals very close genetic similarity between the two species.

In order to better control fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) attacking Cucurbitaceae on Reunion Island (21°6 S/ 55°36 E), biological characteristics (seasonal fluctuation, relative abundance, sex ratio) of communities roosting in corn borders were investigated. The study was conducted in austral summer across a range of altitudes (750-1150 m) corresponding to the main areas of cucurbit croppin...

The genus Dacus is one of the most economically important tephritid fruit flies. The first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Dacus species - D. longicornis was sequenced by next-generation sequencing in order to develop the mitogenome data for this genus. The circular 16,253 bp mitogenome is the typical set and arrangement of 37 genes present in the ancestral insect. The mitogenome ...

Tephritid fruit flies, or "true" fruit flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) include approximately 500 genera and 4800 valid species (Norrbom 2004), whose vast majority (95%) is represented by phytophagous species (reviewed in Aluja and Norrbom 1999). Among them, frugivorous flies represent approximately 25–30% of all tephritid species, occur in tropical and temperate regions of all continents except th...
متن کاملGenetic Variation in Two Species of Fruit Flies of the Genus Bactrocera (dacinae: Tephritidae: Diptera)
Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis data from 14 orthologous loci (25 alleles) were used to infer the genetic variation between the two Tephritidae species, Bactrocera (Dacus) cucurbitae and B. (D.) dorsalis, which are common pests of vegetables and fruits in India. Out of fourteen loci analyzed, seven loci were polymorphic in B. cucurbitae and nine loci were polymorphic in B. dorsalis. The amoun...
