Intraspecific differentiation of Limonium wrightii (Plumbaginaceae) on northwestern Pacific Islands: rate heterogeneity in nuclear rDNA and its distance-independent geographic structure.

Abstract excerpt

We conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis of a coastal sea lavender in NW Pacific using ITS sequences of nrDNA. As a result, the ITS sequences of populations on the oceanic Daito Islands were considerably different from conspecific others in nine apomorphic substitutions. This finding indicates a distance-independent geographical structure of the genetic variation among islands in NW Pacific. The calibrated...
