Table 1. Allelic richness (Ar) and gene diversity (expected heterozygosity, He) for the two SWF groups identified with admixture at K = 2 and the 7 genetic groups previously identified in Camus-Kulandaivelu et al. [10].
Group.Name | Population Size | Allelic richness (Ar) | Expected heterozygosity (He) |
---|---|---|---|
Andean | 12 | 1.75 | 0.31 |
Caribbean | 25 | 1.72 | 0.32 |
Corn Belt Dent | 15 | 1.75 | 0.33 |
Pyrenees_Galicia_2 | 9 | 1.76 | 0.30 |
Italian Flint | 17 | 1.66 | 0.29 |
Mexican | 22 | 1.71 | 0.33 |
Northern Flint | 37 | 1.52 | 0.27 |
W-SWF | 129 | 1.72 | 0.27 |
E-SWF | 65 | 1.68 | 0.29 |
Ar values were calculated using a rarefaction method as in [38], with 1000 resampling of 9 landraces without replacement in each group, except for the Andes group for which we obtained only 220 possible resampling of 9 landraces. We used a Wilcoxon signed-rank test to analyze statistical differences between peers of He (or pair of Ar) values estimated for the 9 groups. All comparisons for pair of He (and pair of Ar) were significant (p-value< 0.009); except for comparison between He of ITA and SWEF groups (p-value = 0.45) and comparison between Ar of Andean and Corn Belt Dent groups. E-SWF = East South-West France; W-SWF = West South-West France.
