Genetic variation in jack pine: concordance between electrohoretic and metric data for Lake State's populations

Concordance between patterns of allozyme variation and metric variation was assessed for populations of jack pine in the Lake States. An ordination of principal components based on allozyme data revealed two broad groupings of populations, a southern group, and a central and northern group. These groups correspond to those identified by Jeffers and Jenson (1980) based on height and diameter growth after 20 years. Patterns of variation for both allozyme and metric data could be related, to growing degree days. However, each data base provides a somewhat different perspective on variation among jack pine populations in the Lake States.
