Abstract
The genetic diversity of Asclepias perennis and Asclepias texana populations were studied from populations throughout their ranges using starch-gel electrophoresis of 16 loci. Heterozygosity levels differed between populations and species, but gene diversity was generally low.Suggested Citation
