Genetic variation in natural populations of Acacia visco (Fabaceae) belonging to two sub-regions of Argentina using AFLP

Acacia visco is a tree native to South America that grows in central and northwest region of Argentina, north Chile and Bolivia and has also been introduced to Africa and naturalized in Europe. Little is known about genetic diversity and genetic structure of this species. Therefore, we studied natur...
