Genetic Relatedness among Three Populations of Housefly Musca Domestica L. Using Rapd-pcr Marker
نویسندگان
چکیده
Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD-PCR) technique was used to investigate genetic relatedness among populations of housefly Musca domestica (L.) from three different regions of the district Allahabad i.e. Arail, Allahabad city and Jhunsi which are separated by rivers Yamuna and Ganga respectively, to analyze whether these rivers act as geographical barriers to gene flow among the three populations. Tools For Population Genetic Analysis (TFPGA) software was used to calculate heterozygosity and Nei’s genetic identity. Average heterozygosity ranges from 0.278 to 0.370 showing significant level of genetic variability among these populations. The genetic identity among three populations ranges from 0.467 to 0.694, which reveals that there is a low level of genetic identity reflecting the fact that the rivers appear to act as a barrier to gene flow among these populations.

متن کاملA microsatellite marker linkage map of the housefly, Musca domestica: evidence for male recombination.
We present the first molecular marker linkage map for Musca domestica containing 35 microsatellite plus six visible markers. We report the development of 33 new microsatellite markers of which 19 are included in the linkage map. Two hundred and thirty-six F2 individuals were genotyped from three crosses yielding a linkage map consisting of five linkage groups that represent the five autosomes o...
متن کاملEfficacy of herbal essential oils as insecticides against the housefly, Musca domestica L.
The insecticidal effects of 20 essential oils derived from herbs, were tested against the housefly species Musca domestica L. using a susceptibility test. Each was applied in ethyl alcohol at concentrations of 1, 5 and 10% (v/v). Ten percent concentrations of Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), Mentha piperita (peppermint) and Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oils were the most effective, showin...
متن کاملGene flow among geographically diverse housefly populations (Musca domestica L.): a worldwide survey of mitochondrial diversity.
Single-strand conformation polymorphisms at 16S2 and COII mitochondrial genes were surveyed in 111 housefly samples from North, Central, and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Western Pacific. Forty-eight phenotypes were detected, of which none were ubiquitous, and 21 (44%) were confined to a single zoogeographical region. Nei's gene diversity index (H(S)) was 0.27 and was heterogeneo...
متن کاملMusca domestica, a window on the evolution of sex-determining mechanisms in insects.
The genetic cascades regulating sex determination of the housefly, Musca domestica, and the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, appear strikingly different. The bifunctional switch gene doublesex, however, is present at the bottom of the regulatory cascades of both species, and so is transformer-2, one of the genetic elements required for the sex-specific regulation of doublesex. The upstream re...
