Developing a solid
understanding of the genetic diversity of native species is
beneficial and critical in developing restoration plans,
conservation programs, and propagation protocols. Population
genetics may also provide a clearer picture of the origins and
pathways of invasive species and the locations of their
greatest sources of genetic diversity. Our lab uses PCR-based
molecular marker techniques, such as the AFLP method, in
population genetics studies of both groups of plants.
