Genome-wide SNPs of vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae: Insights into the recent Australian invasion.

ABSTRACT: Liriomyza sativae, the vegetable leafminer, is an important agricultural pest originally from the Americas, which has now colonized all continents except Antarctica. In 2015, L. sativae arrived on the Australian mainland and established on the Cape York Peninsula in the northeast of the country near the Torres Strait, which provides a possible pathway for pests to enter Australia and evade biosecurity efforts. Here, we assessed genetic variation in L. sativae based on genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated by double digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-seq), aiming to uncover the potential origin(s) of this pest in Australia and contribute to reconstructing its global invasion history. Our fineRADstructure results and principal
