High genetic variability revealed by allozymic loci in the narrow endemic fern Polystichum otomasui (Dryopteridaceae)

Article Abstract:

High genetic variability seen from allozymic loci in the narrow endemic fern Polystichum otomasui (Dryopteridaceae) is discussed based on study of the variability at 16 putative allozymic loci. The species appears to be outcrossing, based on Wright's fixation index, mating system estimates and the intragametophytic selfing rate. The high variabillity despite narrow distribution may come from a recent rapid decline in population and/or large effective population size coming from extensive gene flow among populations.

Comparative study of genetic variation and differentiation of two pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) stands using microsatellite and allozyme loci

Article Abstract:

Allozymic and microsatellite loci analyses for genetic variation and differentiation in two oak stands show that the genetic distances between the two are higher in microsatellites than in the allozyme loci. The differential impact of the two parameters on the analyses is discussed.
