Genetic variation in 183 isolates of Phytophthora cinnamomi from a wide range hosts and locations Australia Papua New Guinea (PNG) was assessed at 20 isozyme loci. Low levels were found both the A, A 2 mating types within Australia. Only two multilocus genotypes detected among Australian PNG isolates, more common one being throughout range. Fourteen 15 1 12 identical all In contrast there much higher variability eight compared with Ai isolates. The can be distinguished isozymically...
Abstract Pollen of acacias is transported by insects as polyads, composite pollen grains. The polyad has enough grains to fertilize all ovules within a flower and hence seed pod may be full sibs. Isozyme markers were used test this hypothesis in two populations Acacia melanoxylon R.Br. proportions fruit pods with multiple paternity detected 0.08 0.15. fullsib pairs estimated the sibling pair method 1 0.63 for populations. Comparison diploid paternal genotypes single showed that probability...
Pinusradiata is restricted to three mainland coastal populations in California and two island off Baja California, Mexico. In this study each population was divided into geographic stands based on natural disjunctions within populations. addition the division mentioned above, also a number of ecological environmental criteria. Genetic variation measured by analysing 31 allozyme loci electrophoretically using germinated seed from 272 families across all Moderate levels were found as shown...
Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden & Betche) Cheel is harvested from natural stands and plantations for production of Australian tea-tree oil. Genetic variation was examined outcrossing rates estimated to provide baseline information breeding selection programs. The overall genetic diversity (HT = 0.186) comparable other regionally distributed tree species. There a general trend more isolated populations have less than the centre species distribution. level differentiation among low (12%),...
Isozyme characteristics of 280 isolates from populations Phytophthora cinnamomi in native veg- etation six locations south-eastern Australia were examined at 19 enzyme loci. No new genotypic arrays identified as compared with earlier samplings. This work indicates that the low variability for P. obtained work, separate a wide range locations, is paralleled detailed population samples Australia. At one location, A1 and A2 mating types coexisted soil samples. The lack recombinants these...
Many plants exhibit a mixed mating system. Published models suggest that this might be an evolutionarily stable rather than transitional state despite the presence of inbreeding depression, but there is little empirical evidence. Through field experimentation, we studied role depression in eliminating inbred progeny from reproductive cohort forest tree Eucalyptus regnans, and demonstrate primary system over two successive generations.Two experiments were conducted using seed natural...
Eucalyptus cladocalyx F.Muell. is a widely cultivated tree in dryland southern Australia. It grown for firewood, timber production and as windbreak ornamental species. Natural populations of E. are endemic to South Australia where they occur three disjunct regions. This study assessed the mating system patterns genetic diversity natural by using allozymes. Populations had relatively low levels (HE = 0.148) high divergence (θ 0.26) among populations, similar other regionally distributed...
Most conifer species occur in large continuous populations, but radiata pine, Pinus radiata, occurs only five disjunctive natural populations California and Mexico. The Mexican island were presumably colonized from the mainland millions of years ago. According to Axelrod (1981), are relicts an earlier much wider distribution, reduced some 8,000 ago, whereas according Millar (1997, 2000), patchy metapopulation-like structure is typical long-term population demography species. We used 19...
Fifty microsatellite markers were developed and characterized in Pinus radiata, from among these, a subset of 10 easily scored highly polymorphic was selected for use fingerprinting, quality control, breeding applications. The based on reliable reproducible amplification, observed expected heterozygosities, number alleles, low frequency null lack close linkage with other markers. Allele numbers frequencies estimated using 24 first-generation clones Australia New Zealand. Observed...
A study of allozyme variation in Acacia melanoxylon R. Br. 27 populations from across the geographic range species indicated high genetic diversity compared to other Australian trees and plants generally. Clines increasing variability with latitude were found for four measures diversity. Most is within but there was an unusually level between (37.7%). distinct separation northern southern located approximately at Hunter River region, where also a disjunction distribution species.

Isozyme variation in two closely related red mahoganies (Eucalyptus pellita F. Muell. and E. scias L.A.S.Johnson K.D.Hill) was examined 17 populations of from Australia, Papua New Guinea Indonesia 8 (including all 3 subspecies) south-eastern coastal Australia. Measures genetic diversity relationships between species subspecies were based on 15 variable loci. Both had moderately high levels diversity, comparable to other similarly distributed species. Most within each found (80% 83% scias)....
