Abstract:Genetic diversity and genetic structure of Macrobrachium nipponense (parents from Taihu Lake and Poyang Lake, F1 generations from diallel crosses) were analyzed by using 12 pairs of microsatellite markers primers selected. The results showed: the average number of alleles (Na) for 17.67 and effective alleles (Ne) for 12.48, between 112-427 bp in size. Average observed heterozygosity (Ho) for 0.693 8, and mean expected heterozygosity (He) for 0.913 4. Six stocks had genetic differentiation index FST value between stocks in 0.023 4-0.052 9, and gene flow (Nm) in 4.476 6-10.411 7. The differentiation is not obvious. Clustering analysis results showed that TP (Taihu Lake ♀?Poyang Lake ♂) stock and PT (Poyang Lake ♀?Taihu Lake ♂) stock, TH (Taihu Lake parents) stock and TT (Taihu Lake ♀?Taihu Lake ♂) stock, PY (Poyang Lake parents) stock and PP (Poyang Lake ♀?Poyang Lake ♂) stock were gathered, respectively, and then, TP, PT, TT and TH gathered again, finally, with PY and PP gathered. Test results showed that observed heterozygosity of the hybrid stocks had increased obviously, but there was no obvious differentiation between hybrid stocks and other stocks. Furthermore, the hybrid progenies were more similar to the female parent in genetic structure. In this study, we analyzed genetic diversity and genetic structure between various stocks by hybridization for Macrobrachium nipponense, so as to provide theory basis for resources conservation and exploitation.
