Genetic assignment, diversity, and divergence of naturalised Acacia saligna (Fabaceae) in Tigray, Ethiopia
Reliable morphological identification of genetic entities within the Acacia saligna (Labill.) H.L. Wendl. species complex is difficult due to its high phenotypic plasticity, but essential due to its extensive use...

Contrasting patterns of clonality and fine-scale genetic structure in two rare sedges with differing geographic distributions
For plants with mixed reproductive capabilities, asexual reproduction is more frequent in rare species and is considered a strategy for persistence when sexual recruitment is limited. We investigate whether as...

Genetic connectivity and diversity in inselberg populations of Acacia woodmaniorum, a rare endemic of the Yilgarn Craton banded iron formations
Historically rare plant species with disjunct population distributions and small population sizes might be expected to show significant genetic structure and low levels of genetic diversity because of the effe...

Characterisation of eleven polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers for Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) (R.Br.) A.DC. (Santalaceae)
A genomic library was constructed and eleven novel polymorphic microsatellite markers developed for Santalum spicatum, a hemi-parasitic tree native to south Western Australia and highly valued for its sesquiterpe...

A rapid PCR-based diagnostic test for the identification of subspecies of Acacia saligna
Subspecific taxa of species complexes can display cryptic morphological variation, and individuals and populations can often be difficult to identify with certainty. However, accurate population identification...

High outcrossing and random pollen dispersal in a planted stand of Acacia saligna subsp. saligna revealed by paternity analysis using microsatellites
The mating system, patterns of pollen mediated gene flow and levels of genetic contamination were investigated in a planted stand of Acacia saligna subsp. saligna via paternity analysis using microsatellite marke...
