Abstract
Gene flow is an important evolutionary force that enables adaptive responses of plant pathogens in response to changes in the environment and plant disease management strategies. In this study, we made a direct inference concerning gene flow in the Irish famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans between two of its hosts (potato and tomato) as well as between China and India. This was done by comparing sequence characteristics of the eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF-1α) gene, generated from 245 P. infestans isolates sampled from two countries and hosts. Consistent with previous results, we found that eEF-1α gene was highly conserved and point mutation was the only mechanism generating any sequence variation. Higher genetic variation was found in the eEF-1α sequences in the P. infestans populations sampled from tomato compared to those sampled from potato. We also found the P. infestans population from India displayed a higher genetic variation in the eEF-1α sequences compared to China. No gene flow was detected between the pathogen populations from the two countries, which is possibly attributed to the geographic barrier caused by Himalaya Plateau and the minimum cross-border trade of potato and tomato products. The implications of these results for a sustainable management of late blight diseases are discussed.

Abstract
With the advent of low cost, high-throughput genome sequencing technology, population genomic data sets are being generated for hundreds of species of pathogenic, industrial, and agricultural importance. The challenge is how best to analyze and visually display these complex data sets to yield intuitive representations capable of capturing complex evolutionary relationships. Here we present PopNet, a novel computational method that identifies regions of shared ancestry in the chromosomes of related strains through clustering patterns of genetic variation. These relationships are subsequently visualized within a network by a novel implementation of chromosome painting. We apply PopNet to three diverse populations that feature differential rates of recombination and demonstrate its ability to capture evolutionary relationships as well as associate traits to specific loci. Compared with existing tools, PopNet provides substantial advances by both removing the need to predefine a single reference genome that can bias interpretation of population structure, as well as its ability to visualize multiple evolutionary relationships, such as recombination events and shared ancestry, across hundreds of strains.

Abstract
Biodiversity is the sum total of all living things on the earth with particular reference to the profound variety in structure,function and genetic constitution. It includes both number and frequency of species or genes in a given assemblage and the variety of resulting ecosystems in a region. It is usually considered at three different levels: genetic, species and ecological diversities. Genus Drosophila belongs to the family Drosophilidae (class Insecta, order Diptera), characterized by rich species diversity at global level and also in India, which is a megadiverse country. At global level, more than 1500 species have been described and several thousands estimated. Hawaiian Islands are particularly rich in species diversity with more than 500 species which provides a unique opportunity to study evolution in genus Drosophila. About 150 species of Drosophila have been reported from India. Certain species of Drosophila found in India have been investigated for genetic diversity within the species. In this regard, Drosophila ananassae is noteworthy. It is a cosmopolitan and domestic species with common occurrence in India and is endowed with many genetic peculiarities. Population genetics and evolutionary studies in this species have revealed as to how genetic diversity within a species play an important role in adaptation of populations to varying environments. In addition, the work carried on D. melanogaster, D. nasuta, D. bipectinata and certain other species in India has shown that these species vary in degree and pattern of genetic diversity, and have evolved different mechanisms for adjusting to their environments. The ecological adaptations to various kinds of stress studied in certain species of Drosophila inhabiting the Indian subcontinent are also discussed.

Abstract
Drosophila, a dipteran insect, has been found to be the best biological model for different kinds of studies. D melanogaster was first described by Meigen in 1830 , is most extensively studied species of the genus Drosophila and a number of investigations employing this species have been documented in areas such as genetics, behaviour, evolution, development, molecular biology, ecology, population biology, etc. Besides D. melanogaster, a number of other species of the genus Drosophila have also been used for different kinds of investigations. Among these, D. ananassae, a cosmopolitan and domestic species endowed with several unusual genetic features, is noteworthy. Described for the first time from Indonesia (Doleschall 1858), this species is commonly distributed in India. Extensive research work on D. ananassae has been done by numerous researchers pertaining to cytology, genetics, mutagenesis, gene mapping, crossing-over in both sexes, population and evolutionary genetics,behaviour genetics, ecological genetics, sexual isolation, fluctuating asymmetry, trade-offs etc. Genome of D. ananassae has also been sequenced. The status of research on D. ananassae at global level is briefly described in this review. Bibliography on this species from different countries worldwide reveals that maximum contribution is from India.

Abstract
Background The amount and quality of nutrients consumed by organisms have a strong impact on stress resistance, life-history traits and reproduction. The balance between energy acquisition and expenditure is crucial to the survival and reproductive success of animals. The ability of organisms to adjust their development, physiology or behavior in response to environmental conditions, called phenotypic plasticity, is a defining property of life. One of the most familiar and important examples of phenotypic plasticity is the response of stress tolerance and reproduction to changes in developmental nutrition. Larval nutrition may affect a range of different life-history traits as well as responses to environmental stress in adult. Principal Findings Here we investigate the effect of larval nutrition on desiccation, starvation, chill-coma recovery, heat resistance as well as egg to adult viability, egg production and ovariole number in Drosophila ananassae. We raised larvae on either protein rich diet or carbohydrate rich diet. We found that flies consuming protein rich diet have higher desiccation and heat shock resistance whereas flies developed on carbohydrate rich diet have higher starvation and cold resistance. Egg production was higher in females developed on protein rich diet and we also found trade-off between egg production and Egg to adult viability of the flies. Viability was higher in carbohydrate rich diet. However, sex specific viability was found in different nutritional regimes. Higher Egg production might be due to higher ovariole number in females of protein rich diet. Conclusion Thus, Drosophila ananassae adapts different stress tolerance and life-history strategies according to the quality of the available diet, which are correlated with phenotypic adjustment at anatomical and physiological levels.

Abstract
Disruptive selection is potentially critical in maintaining variation and initiating speciation and plays an important role in the organization of genetic variability in natural populations. It occurs when extreme phenotypes have a fitness advantage over intermediate phenotypes. Disruptive selection for high and low numbers of sternopleural bristles in Drosophila ananassae was applied for 12 generations to test its effect in induction of behavioural isolation. Pattern of mating between flies of high and low lines was tested in an Elens-Wattiaux mating chamber by using a multiple-choice technique after G(5) and G(12). Data was analyzed by calculating χ(2) under the assumption of random mating to test the difference between homoand heterogamic matings, and sexual isolation was tested by calculating the isolation estimate. The results show that there is no evidence for sexual isolation in G(5) and G(12). The realized heritability, standard error of regression coefficient, and t values suggest that disruptive selection for sternopleural bristle phenotypes was effective, but it does not lead to behavioral isolation in D. ananassae. Rather, it induces differences in mating propensity, which is influenced by sternopleural bristle phenotypes.

Abstract
The origin of sexual isolation is the central event in the evolution of biological species and plays a key role in maintaining biological diversity. Three mass culture stocks of D. ananassae originating from different geographic localities showing no isolation with each other were subjected to different degrees of bottlenecks i.e. one pair, five pairs and ten pairs. These drift lines were passed through flush-crash cycle at every generation with same initial number of founders, and maintained for twenty-seven generations and then the pattern of matings was tested among these nine drift lines involving 36 crosses in total. In 23 of 36 crosses, the difference between homogamic and heterogamic matings was significant and isolation indices were significantly more than zero in one direction only providing evidence for asymmetrical sexual isolation. Further, when Bonferroni test for pair-wise analysis was employed, significant differences between homogamic and heterogamic matings were found in 25 crosses. These findings provide evidence for origin of sexual isolation by founder effects in D. ananassae.

Abstract
Geographical variation in traits related to fitness is often the result of adaptive evolution. Stress resistance traits in Drosophila often show clinal variation, suggesting that selection affects resistance traits either directly or indirectly. Multiple stress resistance traits were investigated in 45 natural populations of Drosophila ananassae collected from all over India. There was significant positive correlation between starvation resistance and lipid content. Significant negative correlations between desiccation and lipid content and between desiccation and heat resistance were also found. Flies from lower latitudes had higher starvation resistance, heat resistance and lipid content but the pattern was reversed for desiccation resistance. These results suggest that flies from different localities varied in their susceptibility to starvation because of difference in their propensity to store body lipid. Multiple regression analysis provided evidence of climatic selection driven by latitudinal variation in the seasonal amplitude of temperature and humidity changes within the Indian. Finally, our results suggest a high degree of variation in stress resistance at the population level in D. ananassae.
