A, number of alleles; n, sample size; H o, observed heterozygosity; H e, expected heterozygosity; F IS, inbreeding coefficient. Two of the four heterozygous strains with mixed MON-1/non-MON-1 alleles (PT2(I) and INF-32) have been removed from the data set, in case of ES9(III) and ES10(III) only the non-MON-1 genotype has been considered, as these strains have been identified as MON-24 by MLEE.
