Abstract

We analyzed the breeding structure of the field diamondback month, Plutella xylostella (Linne), populations. Four polymorphic allozyme loci of acid phosphatase, esterase-1, hexokinase, and phosphoglucomutase were used for the population genetic markers. The estimated genetic distance between Andong and Sangju populations (ca. 50km apart) ranged from 0.0215 by fixation index(${F}_{ST}$) to 0.0550 by Nei's genetic distance(D). Such a little genetic differentiation between these two populations is explained by the significant migrants (11.5 per generation per population) which are estimated by Wright's method(${N}_{eM}$).
