Elaeocarpus grandis :

 

 

.....Eight microsatellite loci have been isolated and characterised

in E. grandis, and transferred successfully to other members of the

family Elaeocarpaceae, with five loci producing bands in all species

tested.

 

Microsatellite analysis of E. williamsianus has been completed, and

revealed more extensive clonality than previously expected.

Preliminary testing of E. sp. 'Rocky Creek' and E. grandis showed

fairly low levels of within-population diversity.

 

As the analysis of a greater number of populations is being

conducted, a number of interesting hypotheses on the evolution of

this group of species and their dependence on rainforest refugia are

emerging.
