Genetic Variability of the Narrow Endemic Tree Antirhea aromatica Castillo-Campos & Lorence, (Rubiaceae, Guettardeae) in a Tropical Forest of Mexico

Resumen

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Genetic structure and variability were examined in the only three extant populations of the narrow-endemic tree Antirhea aromatica (Rubiaceae, Guettardeae), an endangered species of the tropical forest of eastern Mexico. Patterns of genetic diversity within and among populations for adult plants and seedlings were obtained…
