“…The gene frequencies were remarkably different among island populations of the S.S. riukiuanus though they belong to the same subspecies group (Haltenorth 1963). Similar results were observed for blood groups and serum transferrin gene frequencies of the S.S. riukiuanus (Kurosawa et al 1984;Kurosawa & Tanaka 1988). This observation may be due to founder effect or random genetic drift, since these wild pigs live within several subpopulations on each of the small islands isolated from the continent.…”

Summary. PGD (6‐phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) gene frequencies were reported in wild pigs, Sus scrofa, of three subspecies, i.e. Japanese wild pig, S.s. leucomystax, Ryukyu wild pig, S.s. riukiuanus, and Formosan wild pig, S.s. taivanus. Five phenotypes (A, AB, B, AC' and C') were observed. The C' variant was found only in the S.s. leucomystax, and may be identical to PGD‐C reported by Archibald & McTeir (1988). PGD‐A was a common variant in all the species in the genus Sus including wild pig, Sus scrofa, Javan pig, Sus verrucosus, and Bearded pig, Sus barbatus, and predominated in the whole populations examined except some of those of the S.s. riukiuanus. This suggested that the PGDA appeared before theother two alleles (B and C') during the evolution of the genus Sus.

“…These 2 subspecies are distinguishable by blood groups, protein polymorphisms (Kurosawa et al ., 1984;Kurosawa and Tanaka, 1988), and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) (Watanabe et al , 1985). Ryukyu wild boars are also distinguished from Japanese wild boars and East Asian domestic and wild pigs by analysis of mtDNA control and cytochrome b ( cytb ) regions (Watanobe et al, 1999).…”

“…Suzuki, K. Tanaka and Y. Kurosawa, Japanese scientists with whom we conducted joint studies. We also used some published material on S. s. leucomystax (n = 78) and S. s. riucianus (n = 154) from Japan (Kurosawa et al 1984) and on indigenous pigs from South-Eastern Asia (Tanaka et al 1983). The data on the Lithuanian white pigs (219 sepcimens) were obtained by A. Sruoga in five main breeding farms, including the Experimental farm of the Institute of Stockbreeding and Farming (Experimental Livestock Farm of the Institute of Zootechny and Agriculture) which took part in the Interrepublican Breed Testing in Kekhtne.…”

Data on the formation of the genome and microevolution of wild and domestic Sus scrofa scrofa forms based on the analysis of antigenic systems of the diallelic erythrocytes G, F and D were obtained during the hybridisation of breeds of different origin in several generations with forms of wild ancestors possessing European and Asian genotypes. Results were supplemented with the data of comparative analysis obtained during the studies of tens of breeds and local populations. Data of the analysis of populations correlate with experimental prolificacy, pre-and postnatal viability of the offspring obtained during hybridisation between homo-and heterozygous European-Asian genotypes.Analysis of diallelic genetic systems shows reliable increase in the frequency of these alleles in the course of microevolution. This increase provides some selective advantage. It is determined by allele Gb and heterozygous genotype Ga/b. Increase of heterozygotic genotypes of G genetic system in populations of different level of domestication determined that Large white, Berkshire, Landrace, Duroc breeds and their hybrids had the greatest effect on genetic variability. Heterozygosity of a chromosome genotype G 15 reflects hybridity of the genome of the above breeds according to the alleles of the European and Asian origin, which determines a high degree of heterozygosity.
