Genetic structure and haplotype diversity in Indian populations of brown plant hopper, Nilaparvata lugens stal using mtCOI.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stal is a key pest of rice in Asia, causing extensive crop losses and transmitting major viruses. We analysed mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) sequences from 63 field-collected samples representing 21 populations across ten states to understand its genetic structure across India's diverse agroclimatic zones. Our analysis revealed two highly conserved haplotypes, with one major haplotype shared across over 85% of individuals. This consistent haplotype distribution is supported by a TCS network and minimal mutational steps and this reflects strong genetic cohesion across geographically distant populations. Population genetic parameters, neutrality tests, and mismatch distribution patterns support a recent demographic expansion of N. lugens in India. A majority of genetic variation was observed within populations, with only subtle regional differences, as confirmed by AMOVA and phylogenetic tree topology. These results indicate robust gene flow and suggest that Indian populations are highly interconnected, likely facilitated by seasonal migration and shared agricultural practices. Our study offers one of the most comprehensive mitochondrial diversity assessment of Indian N. lugens to date and provides critical genetic benchmarks for future monitoring, resistance management, and predictive modelling of BPH outbreaks in the subcontinent.
