Association studies are becoming the experimental approach of choice to dissect complex
traits in many organisms from humans to model plant systems. The candidate gene based …

The spatial pattern and structure of genetic variation are important aspects of the population
genetics of forest stands. Combined with limits to seed and pollen dispersal, spatial structure …

Until now, Quaternary paleoecologists have regarded evolution as a slow process relative to
climate change, predicting that the primary biotic response to changing climate is not …

Use of selfing as a breeding tool for conifers is controversial; this topic is addressed with a
review of genetic models, theory, and experimental results based on a wide range of plants …

We have examined patterns of variation of several kinds of molecular markers (isozymes,
RFLPs of ribosomal DNA and anonymous low-copy number DNA, RAPDs and …

Variation in species and genus richness among families of flowering plants was examined
with respect to four classification variables: geographical distribution, growth form …

This book is intended to provide information on fundamental genetic processes in tropical
forests. It is based on lecture notes by the authors prepared for postgraduate students …

The level of genetic variation throughout the entire worldwide range of the mangrove
species Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh. was examined using microsatellite markers. Three …

Gene flow is a critical determinant of population genetic structure, playing an important role
in both evolutionary and applied plant population genetics. Four methods have been used to …

Patterns of gene dispersal by seeds and pollen greatly influence the genetic structure of
plant populations and their effective size. This paper reviews methods of measuring gene …
