TABLE 4.

Partitioning of molecular variance within and among parent populations (Ifakara and Mbita) and mixed populations (F1–F20 generations) using the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) method

Source of variation d.f. SS MS VC % P-value
Between Ifakara and Mbita 1 117.29 117.29 2.39 10.00 <0.001
Among progeny populations 4 713.28 178.32 1.95 7.80 <0.001
Among parents and progeny populations 1 265.15 265.15 1.11 4.29 0.047
Within populations 475 10,831.04 22.80 22.80 88.01 <0.001

SS, sums of squares; MS, mean squares; VC, variance component; %, apportionment of genetic variability; P-value, level of significance based on 1000 permutations.
