Abstract excerpt
The distribution of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) variation in Italian beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) populations was studied using PCR-RFLP and microsatellite markers. In total, 67 populations were analysed, and 14 haplotypes were identified by combining the two marker types. A remarkable subdivision of cpDNA diversity in Italian beech was found, as indicated by a high level of genetic differentiation ( G(st)=0.855). The...
