Genetic variation in Armeria maritima in Iceland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 October 2009
Abstract
A comparison of the population genetic structure of Armeria maritima in Iceland with an earlier study in Denmark was undertaken. Ten populations were sampled in Iceland for isozyme analysis. Most populations showed Hardy-Weinberg proportions, but a higher number than statistically expected possessed too many homozygotes. This could indicate a breakdown of the self-incompatibility system in some cases. Statistically significant differences in allelic frequencies among populations were observed but no positive correlation between genetic distance and geographic position was found. Gene diversity in Iceland was lower than in Denmark although the alleles occurring in Iceland were the same as those found in Denmark. Missing alleles were those found with lowest frequency in Denmark. It is suggested that A. maritima in Iceland has immigrated from the southern part of the distribution post-glacially, leaving behind the rare alleles.
