Comparison of mating system parameters and genetic structure in three natural scenarios of Acacia visco (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae)

Acacia visco is a native South American tree species that has been extensively used for ornamental purposes and in carpentry, bodywork and parquet due to the hardness and durability of its wood. Little is known about genetic diversity and mating system of A. visco. The main aims of this study were t...

The three primer pairs used in the AFLP analysis revealed a total of 569 variable loci. Most genetic variation was observed among individuals within families (61. 2 %). The estimate of multilocus outcrossing rate (tm) was high (≥0. 971) in all populations.

Considering the results obtained here where a high percentage of individuals were half-sibs, sampling large numbers of pods from individual trees for ex situ conservation will result in a genetically diverse sample as a consequence of high outcrossing rates. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Wien.
