Genetic variation of bacteriocytes over one sexual generation of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci MED culture BTZ. Six adult females (generation F0) were mated and allowed to deposit eggs (generation F1), and then the microsatellite profile of dissected bacteriocytes (B) and head (H) were scored. The same microsatellite analysis was conducted on one female offspring of each cross (F1). The genotype of each insect is indicated by alleles scored (+). Data for all microsatellite loci are provided in Data S2.
