Article Synopsis
- A study focused on a Brazilian fruit tree's economic importance evaluated genetic diversity using 2031 SNP markers across six locations in different biomes.
- High genetic structure was noted, with 59% of variability between locations, mainly linked to the Amazon and Cerrado biomes, alongside a significant correlation between genetic and geographic distances.
- The Cerrado biome showed the highest genetic diversity, while the Amazon locations exhibited low diversity and inbreeding due to urbanization, burning, and agricultural expansion affecting genetic variance.
The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a significant pest of many crops in the world and it is native to the Americas, where the species has shown the ability to rapidly evolve resistance to insecticides and transgenic plants. Despite the importance of this species, there is a gap in the knowledge regarding the genetic structure of FAW in South America. Here, we examined the genetic diversity of FAW populations across a wide agricultural area of Brazil and Argentina using a Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) approach.
