英文摘要 | Sinojackia, a member of the family Styracaceae, is an endangered genus endemic to China. The number of populations and population size of Sinojackia have decreased sharply because of habitat fragmentation and destruction. We studied the genetic diversity of extant populations in two different cohorts (adult and seedling) using eight microsatellite markers to investigate the genetic footprints of habitat fragmentation in four recognized Sinojackia spp. and to develop appropriate conservation measures. Data on intrapopulational genetic diversity suggest that Sinojackia populations have maintained relatively high levels of genetic diversity and low levels of genetic differentiation despite severe fragmentation. The high genetic diversity may be explained by the outcrossing mating system and high longevity of Sinojackia spp. The amount of genetic variation is not associated with population size, which was also supported by bottleneck analysis. In the species studied, there was no significant difference in the genetic diversity between the two cohorts analysed. However, inbreeding increased from adult trees to seedling populations, suggesting that the higher proportion of biparental inbreeding in the recent generations of seedlings is the result of restricted current genetic flow caused by habitat fragmentation. Average seed set per population was not significantly correlated with either population size or genetic diversity. Conservation management should aim to monitor inbreeding and outbreeding depression carefully to ensure the in?situ and ex?situ conservation of Sinojackia spp. (c) 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, , . |
