Abstract


The isoenzyme variation in a geographically well isolated population of Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. macrocarpa from Korfu island was investigated. Based on the 18 putative isoenzyme loci a very low level of variation has been observed. In the studied material only 11% (95% criterion) of the loci were polymorphic. The number of alleles per locus was 1.17 and the observed, and expected heterozygosities were 0.016, and 0.024, respectively.
