Abstract excerpt
Betula maximowicziana is an ecologically and economically important tree species in Japan. In order to examine the phylogeographical pattern of the species in detail, maternally inherited chloroplast (cp) DNA variations of 25 natural populations of Betula maximowicziana and a total of 12 populations of three related species were evaluated by PCR-RFLP analysis. Two main haplotypic groups of B. maximowicziana...
