Abstract

Plantago asiatica (Plantaginaceae) is a wind-pollinated plant that grows mainly on fields in East Asia. Starch gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the allozyme diversity and population structure of 18 populations of this species. Although the plantain populations were isolated and patchily distributed, they maintained a high level of genetic diversity; the average percentage of polymorphic loci was 57.1%, the mean number of alleles per locus was 2.07, and the average heterozygosity for 18 populations was 0.201. The combination of a predominant wind-pollinated, mix-mating reproduction, large population sizes, high gene flow between subpopulations, and a propensity for high fecundity may explain the high level of genetic diversity within populations. A direct gradient in overall genetic diversity is associated with latitude. Genetic diversity of P. asiatica is markedly decreased from $35^{\circ}3^{\prime}$ to high latitude and decreased from $35^{\circ}3^{\prime}N$ to low latitude, whereas there does not show a longitudinal gradient in genetic diversity.

질경이(Plantago asiatica)는 주로 동아시아에 분포하는 풍매화 식물이다. 전분 젤 전기영동으로 이 종의 18개 집단에 대한 알로자임 다양성과 집단구조를 평가하였다. 비록 질경이 집단은 작고 격리되어 있지만, 높은 유전적 다양성을 가지고 있었다. 평균 다형성을 나타내는 유전자좌위의 수는 57.1%였고, 대립유전자좌위당 유전자수는 2.07이였으며, 18개 집단에 대한 이형접합성은 0.201이였다. 풍매화, 혼합적 생식교배계, 큰 집단 크기, 집단 간 높은 유전자 이동, 다산의 특성이 집단 내 유전적 다양성을 설명할 수 있다. 유전적 다양성은 위도와 관련이 있었는데 질경이 집단은 북위 $35^{\circ}3^{\prime}$를 초과하면 유전적 다양성은 현저하게 감소하였다. 반면에 유전적 다양성에 대한 경도 구배는 나타나지 않았다.
