Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Osyris lanceolata (Hochst. & Steud.) (Santalaceae) is a multipurpose plant highly valued culturally and economically in Africa. However, O. lanceolata populations have rapidly dwindled in East Africa due to overexploitation and this is believed to cause further consequences on the species' genetic diversity and structure within the region. Information regarding a species' genetic diversity and...
