Genetic variability within Serbian populations of the rare and endangered pottioid moss Hilpertia velenovskyi (Schiffn.) Zander inferred by isozyme analyses

Abstract

Genetic variability within Serbian populations of the pottioid moss Hilpertia velenovskyi (Schiffn.) Zander was studied. Eight populations of this rare and endangered moss species were chosen for peroxidase isozyme analyses. From the data obtained, it can be inferred that four haplotypes are present among H. velenovskyi populations in Serbia, the Banat population being distinctive from all others.
