| Summary: | A preliminary study of the extent and pattern of genetic variation of 10 selected species (Shorea parvifolia, Shorea
macroptera, Shorea acuminata, Shorea leprosula, Hopea beccariana, Dipterocarpus crinitus, Endospermum
malaccensis, Artocarpus elasticus, Palaquium gutta and Macaranga gigantea at Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve was
carried out using the horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Analysis of eight enzymes indicated that they were coded
by 9 to 12 loci. Levels of polymorphism and mean of expected heterozygosities of these species ranged from 0.9
to 1.0 and from 0.454 (S. leprosula) to 0.602 (H. beccariana) respectively. |
