Unlabelled: The brown planthopper, (Stål) is a major sucking insect pest of rice. This insect has long been considered as migratory; however, its route in India is still unknown. Hence, to find out its migration route genetic diversity, genetic structure and gene flow of 16  populations from major rice growing regions of India was studied based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI). The results revealed a high genetic homogeneity among the populations on the basis of genetic diversity statistics and neutrality tests. There was a prevalence of a single major haplotype across the country. No spatial relevance was found with the genetic structure of the populations indicating presence of excessive gene flow among them. Extensive gene flow among populations was also confirmed with the presence of higher number of immigrants in North, Central, and East India. To further clarify the migration sources, 48 h air-mass reverse trajectory was performed for Varanasi just aftermath of cyclones Amphan and Yaas, which disclosed Eastern/Northeastern states along with Bangladesh and Myanmar as the possible source areas. Overall, the results revealed a single panmictic homogeneous population of in India with extensive gene flow as a consequence of their migration. These findings will help in better forecasting enabling efficient regional management of this important rice pest.
