| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted "to utilize RAPD [random amplified polymorphic DNAs] analysis to evaluate the genetics of Louisiana smooth cordgrass. The genetic evaluation includes characterization of genetic diversity, spatial distribution based on closely related grouping, and potential use of marker-based identificiation." Explains that "incidence known as 'brown marsh' or 'marsh dieback', first noticed in the spring of 2000, affected extensive coastal marsh regions in Louisiana where smooth cordgrass is the predominant species." Details methods and materials used in the study, stating that "to analyze the genetic relationship among 95 smooth cordgrass accessions, a total of 12 primers were used to generate DNA fragments of accession 1 to 29. A total of 225 fragments were obtained with the 12 primers." Reports that "cluster analysis revealed that 95 smooth cordgrass accessions used in the study felt [fell] into three genetic groups, each of which is separated by a genetic distance of more than 0.90." States that "utilization of a single smooth cordgrass cultivar for salt marsh reclaimation and erosion control has raised concern. The main concern is related to the genetic [genetics] of the cultivar used and possible negative impacts associated with the introduction of the cultivar on the genetic diversity in and around the target areas." |
