RESUMO

Among the various aspects generally considered in the genetic characterization of natural populations of plant species, the evaluation of the degree of genetic structure within and among individuals and the estimation of parameters related to the species mating system are of great importance. In general, considerable effort is focused on the estimation of the intrapopulation fixation index (f) and the outcrossing rate (t). Using computer simulated data, the dynamic nature of f for different loci along generations is illustrated. The dynamic nature of f is shown to result from the finite condition of populations and from the variation in the mean values of the outcrossing rates among generations. It is suggested that this dynamic behavior explains the inconsistency, commonly reported in the literature, of f estimates obtained for different loci in a given population. Using a Bayesian approach, we propose a hierarchical model for the estimation of f, incorporating information obtained from different unlinked loci and considering the conditionality of the estimation process to genetic polymorphism. The proposed model incorporates the dynamic nature of f values for different loci and allows the estimation of the effective number of reproductively active individuals in a given population. Using a similar approach, a Bayesian model is also proposed for estimating the outcrossing rate using multiple loci information and incorporating the possibility of apomixis. The models proposed are evaluated by computer simulations and examples using real data from codominant molecular markers are presented. Results obtained illustrate the applicability of the proposed methods and reveal the great potential of use of Bayesian statistics in population genetic studies.
