Protein Differences Detected by Two-Dimensional Electrophoresis among Local Populations of Panonychus citri(MCGREGOR)(Acari:Tetranychidae)in Japan

Abstract

Protein varieties among five local populations of P. citri collected from Kanagawa, Wakayama, Ehime, Fukuoka and Kagoshima Prefectures in Japan were compared by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Genetic distances between the populations based on the differences of proteins were determined. The results demonstrated that location of habitats had great influence on genetic variation among local populations.
