Genetic diversity and multilocus genetic structure in the relictual endemic herb Japonolirion osense (Petrosaviaceae).

Abstract excerpt

Plant clonality may greatly reduce effective population size and influence management strategies of rare and endangered species. We examined genetic diversity and the extent of clonality in four populations of the monotypic herbaceous perennial Japonolirion osense, which is one of the most rare flowering plants in Japan. Allozyme analysis revealed moderate levels of genetic variation, and the proportion of...
