Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) are polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-
based markers for the rapid screening of genetic diversity. AFLP methods rapidly generate …

Researchers in the field of molecular ecology and evolution require versatile and low‐cost
genetic typing methods. The AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) method was …

We investigate the distribution of sizes of fragments obtained from the amplified fragment
length polymorphism (AFLP) marker technique. We find that empirical distributions obtained …

Massive loss of valuable plant species in the past centuries and its adverse impact on
environmental and socioeconomic values has triggered the conservation of plant resources …

This study compares the properties of dominant markers, such as amplified fragment length
polymorphisms (AFLPs), with those of codominant multiallelic markers, such as …

The study and characterization of natural systems involves the evaluation of their diversity
and the identification and definition of processes and fluxes operating at different temporal …

A general explanation for diversity in plant breeding systems is offered by sex-allocation
theory. This theory assumes a trade-off between allocation of resources to the two sexual …

The ease with which arbitrarily amplified dominant (AAD) markers such as RAPD, AFLP and
ISSR could be used to generate vast quantities of data led to their rapid application …

There is currently a poor understanding of the nature and extent of long‐distance seed
dispersal, largely due to the inherent difficulty of detection. New statistical approaches and …

Three procedures for the estimation of null allele frequencies and gene diversity from
dominant multilocus data were empirically tested in natural populations of the outcrossing …
