          Abstract

          Lilaea scilloides (Juncaginaceae) es una especie acuática de humedales temporales. Es una herbácea anual emergente que va desde Canadá hasta Argentina. Tiene reproducción sexual y asexual y es polinizada por viento. Su heteromorfismo floral es notorio con 5 diferentes tipos de flores. Se planteó la hipótesis de que, debido a su polinización, amplio intervalo de distribución y abundancia local, tendría alta diversidad genética, baja endogamia, baja diferenciación genética y alto flujo génico. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar la diversidad y estructura genética de L. scilloides y compararlas con especies con características ecológicas y de historia de vida similares. Se analizaron 40 individuos en cada una de las 12 poblaciones con la técnica de electroforesis de isoenzimas en geles de almidón. Los resultados muestran baja diversidad genética dentro de las poblaciones (A= 1.77, Ae= 1.15, P= 56.6, Ho= 0.064 y He= 0.103), altos índices de endogamia (F IS= 0.288), baja diferenciación genética entre las poblaciones (F ST= 0.077) y alto flujo génico (Nm= 4.42). Se encontró evidencia de altos niveles de propagación clonal. Los resultados indican que la reproducción asexual es extremadamente importante, así como la posibilidad de que L. scilloides presente hidrofilia, un tipo de polinización no registrado para la especie.

          Lilaea scilloides (Juncaginaceae) is an aquatic species inhabiting temporary wetlands. It is an annual herbaceous emergent plant distributed from Canada to Argentina. This species reproduces both sexually and asexually, and is wind-pollinated. Flowers are highly heteromorphic with 5 different types of flowers. We hypothesized that, because of its pollination syndrome, wide distribution and local abundance, the species would have high genetic diversity, low endogamy, low genetic differentiation, and high gene flow. The objectives of this study were to determine the genetic diversity and structure of L. scilloides and compare with species with similar ecological and life history traits. We analyzed 40 individuals from 12 populations using isozyme electrophoresis in starch gels. The results showed a low within population genetic diversity (A= 1.77, Ae= 1.15, P= 56.6, Ho= 0.064 and He= 0.103), a high endogamy index (F IS= 0.288), low genetic differentiation among populations (F ST= 0.077), and high gene flow (Nm= 4.42). We also found evidence of a high degree of clonal propagation in the species. These results indicate that asexual reproduction is extremely important for the species, as well as the possibility that Lilaea scilloides has hydrophilous pollination, which has not been previously reported.

          Estimation of average heterozygosity and genetic distance from a small number of individuals.

          M Nei (1978)
          The magnitudes of the systematic biases involved in sample heterozygosity and sample genetic distances are evaluated, and formulae for obtaining unbiased estimates of average heterozygosity and genetic distance are developed. It is also shown that the number of individuals to be used for estimating average heterozygosity can be very small if a large number of loci are studied and the average heterozygosity is low. The number of individuals to be used for estimating genetic distance can also be very small if the genetic distance is large and the average heterozygosity of the two species compared is low.
