Low levels of genetic variation within populations of the four rare orchids Gymnadenia cucullata, Gymnadenia camtschatica, Amitostigma gracile, and Pogonia minor in South Korea: indication of genetic drift and implications for conservation

2009-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Many terrestrial orchids are relatively rare, and their populations are small and spatially isolated. Population genetics theory predicts that populations of such species, affected historically by random genetic drift, would maintain low levels of genetic diversity and exhibit a high degree of among-population divergence. To test this prediction, I used enzyme electrophoresis. Genetic diversity within populations...
