| high genetic diversity and clonal growth in relict populations of olea europaea subsp. laperrinei (oleaceae) from hoggar, algeria. | the laperrine's olive (olea europaea subsp. laperrinei) is an endemic tree from saharan massifs. its populations have substantially regressed since the pleistocene and are presently distributed in a fragmented habitat. long-term persistence of this taxon is uncertain and programmes of preservation have to be urgently implemented. to define a conservation strategy, the genetic diversity and breeding system of this tree have to be investigated. | 2005 | 16043438 |
