Abstract excerpt
The genetic structure of Cycas seemannii A.Br. (Cycadaceae), sampled throughout its range in Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga, was studied using starch-gel electrophoresis. Twenty enzyme loci in 13 enzyme systems were examined. Low genetic diversity within populations (A = 1.2, P = 21.3, Ho = 0.047, and He = 0.057) and a high degree of differentiation among populations (F(ST) = 0.594) were found. This,...
