Isozyme polymorphism in the Oriental fruit fly [Bactrocera occipitalis (Bezzi) and B. philippinensis drew and Hancock] from Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines
Abstract
Isozyme analysis was done to do similarity studies between two species of Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera occipitalis and B. philippinensis) from Puerto, Princesa, Palawan. Six presumptive loci coding for four enzymes were revealed. Acid phosphatase (ACP-1) and malic enzyme (ME-1) had one presumptive locus each, while alkaline phosphatase (ALP-1, ALP-2) and esterase (EST-1, EST-2) had two loci each. Two alleles (S and F) were noted for ALP-1, ALP-2, EST-1, EST-2 and ME-1. ACP-1 showed only S allele. The two species collected from Puerto Princesa, Palawan are genetically similar at these enzyme loci.
