    Heredity 80 (1998) 180–186 Received 20 January 1997 Genetic variation and reproductive success of road verge populations of the rare shrub Grevillea barklyana (Proteaceae) PATRICIA M. HOGBIN*, DAVID J. AYRE & ROBERT J. WHELAN Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, Northfields Avenue, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia Road verge remnant native vegetation often provides a last refuge for many endangered plant species. However, the value of road verge populations is often questioned because their relatively small size and isolation is expected to reduce both their reproductive potential and their genotypic diversity. We assessed the fitness, genetic variability and links with other populations of small, disjunct and highly disturbed road verge populations of the rare Austral- ian shrub Grevillea barklyana. We found that a set of three road verge populations produced significantly more inflorescences and seed than three nearby nonverge populations. Using three random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers, we detected similar levels of genetic variability within and among road verge and nonverge populations. We detected a total of 23 polymorphic marker bands, which allowed us to assign a unique phenotype to each of 60 surveyed plants. AMOVA revealed that only 3.3 per cent of the total variability detected was attributable to variation between the two groups of populations. The majority (80 per cent) of variation occurred among individuals within populations, and 16.7 per cent occurred among populations within each population type. Surprisingly, this pattern of variation is similar to results reported for obligatorily outcrossing species. We conclude that our three road verge populations of G. barklyana have relatively great conservation value, as all were apparently as fecund and as genetically diverse as conspecific nonverge populations.

  • Cloning and Selection of Banksias
    AUSTRALIAN FLORA AND PROTEA GROWERS ASSOCIATION Paper for 1995 Conference Cloning and Selection of banksias Margaret Sedgley Department of Horticulture, Viticulture and Oenology Waite Agricultural Research Institute The University of Adelaide Glen Osmond SA 5154 Introduction Cloning and selection of banksias are essential for improvement of .yield and quality. It is important to select plants which are consistently superior over a number of years. These should then be propagated by vegetative means, so as to perpetuate their superior characteristics. Potential methods for vegetative propagation of banksias are cuttings, tissue culture and grafting. Cuttings We have been experimenting with cutting propagation of banksias for a number of years. We were guided by Gail Barth, who found that Banksia coccinea would root with any concentration of indole butyric acid (IBA), but that high concentrations in the order of 10,000 ppm were most effective. We have tested a range of concentrations of IBA on glasshouse grown mother plants of Banksia coccinea, and also on field grown material of B. coccinea, B. menziesii, B. hookeriana and B. prionotes. Our cutting technique is as follows. New flush growth was selected after it had started to harden, generally between May and August. Terminal and sub terminal cuttings were taken of approximately 10 cm length. Half of the leaves were removed from the cutting, and the remainder of the leaves were cut in half. The base of the propagule was recut under water, and wounded by two longitudinal cuts of 1.5 cm length. The base of each cutting was held in IBA 2 solution for five seconds.

P. virgata is an attractive, yellow-flowered shrub endemic to Australia. Stems are harvested commercially from naturally-occurring populations all year round, and sold on both the export and domestic flower markets.

  • Managing Genetic Diversity and Representation in Banksia Marginata (Proteaceae) Seed Production Areas Used for Conservation and Restoration

Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 2 Australian Tree Seed Centre, CSIRO National Research Collections Australia, G.P.O.

Box 124, Benalla, VIC 3671, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Landscape degradation is a major threat to global biodiversity that is being further exac- erbated by climate change. Halting or reversing biodiversity decline using seed-based restoration requires tons of seed, most of which is sourced from wild populations. However, in regions where restoration is most urgent, wild seed sources are often fragmented, declining and producing seed with low genetic diversity. Seed production areas (SPAs) can help to reduce the burden of collecting native seed from remnant vegetation, improve genetic diversity in managed seed crops and contribute to species conservation. Banksia marginata (Proteaceae) is a key restoration species in south-eastern Australia but is highly fragmented and declining across much of its range. We evaluated genetic diversity, population genetic structure and relatedness in two B. marginata SPAs and the wild popula- Citation: Broadhurst, L.; Bush, D.; tions from which the SPA germplasm was sourced. We found high levels of relatedness within most Begley, J. Managing Genetic Diversity remnants and that the population genetic structure was best described by three groups of trees.
