Abstract

Amplified fragment length polymorphisms are a reliable, straightforward method of determining the genetic diversity of species. Frequently this method of determining genetic diversity has been used in conservation efforts because of its cost effectiveness, and efficiency. We set out to characterize the genetic diversity of three native species of wildflower common in the Intermountain West, and frequently used in Forest Service revegetation projects.
