<b>Molecular polymorphism in <em>Lonchocarpus cultratus</em> (Fabaceae) from riparian areas of natural reforesting in Upper Paraná River, Brazil</b> - DOI: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v26i3.1596
Abstract
Lonchocarpus cultratus (Vell.) A.M.G. Azevedo and H.C. Lima is an important plant species in areas of natural reforesting in South and Southeastern Brazil, including riparian areas. This arboreous species seems to reproduce by seeds in undisturbed forests. In regenerating forests, however, L. cultratus has been observed mostly as patches of aggregates, consisting of highly similar plants, resembling clones. Sprouting from root buds had been previously observed in L. cultratus in a forest affected by fire. In the present study, RAPD polymorphism revealed high genetic diversity among plants from L. cultratus aggregates in a natural restoring riparian forest affected by fires, in the Upper Paraná River, Brazil. These data allow the suggestion that sexual reproduction has been the L. cultratus usual reproductive strategy to colonize the reforesting riparian areaDownloads
