TL;DR

Genomic DNA samples from 21 box elder plants collected in Missouri were digested with restriction enzyme and southern blot hybridized with the M13 minisatellite probe and each plant was found to have a unique DNA fragment pattern.

Abstract

Genomic DNA samples from 21 box elder plants collected in Missouri (U.S.A.) were digested with restriction enzyme and southern blot hybridized with the M13 minisatellite probe. Each plant was found to have a unique DNA fragment pattern. Moreover, levels of genetic variation estimated from a similarity index appear to be related to sampling distances. However, size of the fragments utilized in the analysis affects the estimates of genetic variation to a considerable degree.
