  • Starch gel electrophoresis was used to estimate genetic diversity and population structure of Pyrola fauriena H. Andr. in Korea. The percentage of polymorphic loci within enzymes was $57.1\%$. The values of genetic diversity at the species level and at the population were higher than average values for herbaceous with similar life history traits (Hes : 0.149; Hep = 0.134, respectively), whereas the extent of the population divergence was relatively low $(G_{ST}=0.082)$. $F_{IS}$, a measure of the deviation from random mating within the 12 populations, was 0.298. An indirect estimate of the number of migrants per, generation (Nm = 2.81) indicates that gene flow is moderate among Korean populations of the species. Analysis of fixation indices revealed a substantial heterozygosity deficiency in some populations and at some loci. This indicates that some populations sampled may have been substructured largely due to rhizotamous spread and decrease of population sizes.
