Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The desert legume genus Ammopiptanthus comprises two currently endangered species, A. mongolicus and A. nanus. Genetic variability and genetic differentiation between the two species and within each species were examined. METHODS: Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker data were obtained and analysed with respect to genetic diversity, structure and gene flow. KEY RESULTS: Despite the...
