Population structure and diversification of Gymnospermium kiangnanense, a plant species with extremely small populations endemic to eastern China.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Gymnospermium kiangnanense is the only species distributed in the subtropical region within the spring ephemeral genus Gymnospermium. Extensive human exploitation and habitat destruction have resulted in a rapid shrink of G. kiangnanense populations. This study utilizes microsatellite markers to analyze the genetic diversity and structure and to deduce historical population events of extant...
