Genetic Diversity and Differentiation in Remnant Populations of Bulpleurum latissimum Nakai, an Endangered Endemic Plant Species to Ulleung Island, Korea

Bupleurum latissimum is a narrowly endemic and endangered plant, restricted to only two small populations in steep cliffs of a small island, Ulleung Island, in Korea. The genetic diversity ad population differentiation in the two remnant populations of the species were investigated using RAPD (rando...

More Information
Summary:Bupleurum latissimum is a narrowly endemic and endangered plant, restricted to only two small populations in steep cliffs of a small island, Ulleung Island, in Korea. The genetic diversity ad population differentiation in the two remnant populations of the species were investigated using RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) analysis. The Nei's gene diversities were 0.146 in the smaller population of 45 individuals, and 0.151 in the larger population of 61 individuals.
