Abstract:

RAD-seq technology was utilized to develop 10 pairs of novel polymorphic microsatellite primers for assessing genetic 有时候diversity in nine populations of Sinonovacula constricta of Dandong in Liaoning (DD), Qinhuangdao in Hebei (QHD), Zhuanghe in Liaoning (ZH), Qindao in Shandong (QD), Lianyungang in Jiangsu (LYG), Ningbo in Zhejiang (NB), Xiamen in Fujian (XM), Huizhou in Guangdong (HZ), and Beihai in Guangxi (BH). In 270 individuals of S. constricta, a total of 352 alleles were detected. The average number of alleles (Na) ranged from 3.2000 to 4.3000, with the average effective number of alleles (Ne) falling between 1.8789 and 2.5433. Observed heterozygosity (Ho) varied from 0.0000 to 0.9667, with an average ranging from 0.3088 to 0.5533. Expected heterozygosity (He) spanned from 0.0000 to 0.7945, with an average of 0.3456 to 0.5715. The average polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0.3373 to 0.5989. Genetic diversity analysis indicated a moderate level of genetic diversity across the nine populations of S. constricta. The genetic differentiation coefficient (Fst) among populations ranged from 0.0547 to 0.3511, with the lowest Fst value observed between QHD and ZH (0.0547) and the highest between LYG and BH (0.3511). Gene flow (Nm) values ranged from 0.4620 to 4.3204, with the highest Nm value recorded between QHD and QD (4.3204) and the lowest between LYG and BH (0.4620). AMOVA analysis revealed that 33.04% of the total genetic variation existed among populations (p < 0.01), while 66.96% was within populations (p < 0.01), indicating that the genetic variation was observed not only among individuals but also among populations. However, the variation among individuals was greater than that among populations. Consistent results were obtained from UPGMA clustering, Structure clustering, and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA). The study delineated three main groups among the nine populations: the first group comprised QHD, ZH, QD and DD populations; the second group included LYG, NB, XM, and HZ populations; and the third group was independently represented by BH population.
