Allozyme variation of genetic diversity in natural populations of Jatropha curcas germplasm from different areas in southwest China
西南地区麻疯树天然种群遗传多样性的等位酶变异

Aims Our objectives was to investigate the genetic structure and diversity of ten natural populations of Jatropha curcas. Methods Seven loci encodings were detected by vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Important findings The genetic diversity of J. curcas was high at the species level with a mean number of alleles per locus of 2.428 6, percentage of polymorphic loci of 97.14% and a mean expected heterozygosity of 0.396 4. A low level of genetic differentiation among populations (0.041 3) and a hi...
