Fig. 2. UPGMA clustering of blue grama populations based on inter-population distances obtained from AMOVA on the detected polymorphic RAPD bands. A: The relationships of 11 natural populations and B: The relationships of the selected populations (BMSC and MSC) with their source populations (SPs) (with the three apparently selective RAPD bands).

Fig. 3. Scattergram of all individual blue grama plants in two selected populations (BMSC and MSC) and their source populations (SPs) determined on the basis of the first two canonical variables (CAN1 and CAN2) obtained from canonical discriminant analysis of the RAPD data.
