Abstract
ゲンジボタルのミトコンドリアND5遺伝子をコードする塩基配列を用い, 地域個体間の遺伝的類縁関係を調べた.108地域から得られた307個体について909bpの塩基配列を調べたところ, 131のハプロタイプが検出された.次に, 塩基配列に基づき, 分子系統樹を作成したところ, これらのハプロタイプは大きく4つのグループに分けられることが明らかとなった.これらのグループのうち, グループIとIIの分布はフォッサマグナ地帯を境界として東日本地域と四国を含む西日本地域に分かれた.本州における両者の分布は, ほぼフォッサマグナを境に, 発光間隔が約2秒間隔の西日本タイプと約4秒間隔の東日本タイプに分かれることと一致した.九州では, 中央構造線を境に, 南側のグループIIIと北側のグループIVに分かれた.
Partial sequences (909bp) of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (ND5) gene were determined for 307 individuals of Luciola cruciata (Coleoptera : Lampyridae) collected from the 108 locations in Japan. From the sequences obtained 131 different mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes were found. From the results of the neighbor-joining (NJ) analysis, these haplotypes were divided into four major groups. The haplotypes of groups I and II were obtained from eastern and western parts of Honshu Island, respectively, which are separated along the Fossa Magna Zone. Those of groups III and IV were obtained from southern and northern parts of Kyushu Island, respectively, which are divided by the Mid-Tectonic Line. Population of Shikoku Island belonged to the group II.
