Abstract excerpt
RAPDs and chloroplast microsatellites were used to quantify the genetic variation of Vitellaria paradoxa (an economically important tree species in sub-Saharan Africa, north of the equator) and to analyse the geographic distribution of diversity in relation to the refuge theory. A total of 13 locations were sampled in eight countries, covering most of the natural range from Senegal to Uganda. A total of 67...
