Abstract

Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis was used to examine genetic diversity within a morphologically uniform population of Virgilia oroboides. Fifty trees were surveyed for 37 proteins, and gene products of 43 protein coding loci revealed genetic variation at 21 (48.8%) thereof. The percentage of polymorphic loci was 46.51% (0.95 criterion), a value of 1.49 (±0.08) was obtained for the mean number of alleles per locus, and the average heterozygosity per locus was calculated at 0.207 (±0.034). Although the mean heterozygosity per locus is relatively high for plant species in general, it compares favourably with values obtained for vascular plants, plants with comparable life history characteristics and other legumes.
