Origin of Livistona chinensis var. subglobosa (Arecaceae) on the "islet of the gods": Aoshima, Japan

RAPD analysis was performed to discuss the origin of Livistona chinensis var. subglobosa using samples from eight localities, Iriomotejima, Ishigakijima, Okinawa, Yakushima, Tanegashima, Cape Sata, Tsukishima, and Aoshima, in Japan. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were obtained using...

Description
Summary:RAPD analysis was performed to discuss the origin of Livistona chinensis var. subglobosa using samples from eight localities, Iriomotejima, Ishigakijima, Okinawa, Yakushima, Tanegashima, Cape Sata, Tsukishima, and Aoshima, in Japan. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were obtained using five random primers and analyzed by the unweighted pair group method arithmetic (UPGMA). Data from Iriomotejima clustered with data from Aoshima, suggesting the possibility that seeds or green woods were carried by the tidal current from the southern fields of Iriomotejima to Aoshima.
