Abstract excerpt
The genetics of the poacea Hyparrhenia diplandra was studied in four natural populations from an ecological station in West Africa, where it makes up 80% of grasses from wet savanna and constitutes a dense continuum of randomly distributed individuals. DNA content and cytogenetical observations suggest it is an allotetraploid. Using two highly variable microsatellites (heterozygosity H = 0.615-0.616), we show...
