Genetic variation and conservation assessment of Chinese populations of Magnolia cathcartii (Magnoliaceae), a rare evergreen tree from the South-Central China hotspot in the Eastern Himalayas.

Abstract excerpt

Nine natural populations of the rare evergreen tree Magnolia cathcartii (Magnoliaceae) were sampled across its natural range, and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to assess genetic variation within and among populations. Three ex situ populations were also surveyed to determine whether conservation plantings include the entire genetic diversity of the species. Genetic diversity...
