Abstract excerpt
We determined the DNA sequence of a 2.7-kb cpDNA XbaI fragment from douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco]. RFLPs revealed by the 2.7-kb XbaI clone were observed to vary up to 1 kb among species within the genus Pseudotsuga and up to 200 bp among trees of P. menziesii. The polymerase...
