Figure 1.

Diagram of six cone collection positions in a T. plicata tree: (1) top, outer branches (2) top, inner branches (3) mid, outer branches (4) mid, inner branches (5) lower, outer branches and (6) lower, inner branches.

Figure 2.

Band intensity profile (right) of three bulked individuals at locus TP9 from lane 6 on the microsatellite gel (left). The four detected alleles are indicated by black arrows on the band intensity profile. M, 10 bulked megagametophytes from the maternal plant. S, three bulked seedlings.

Figure 3.

Individual tree outcrossing rate estimates regressed on tree height in four populations of T. plicata. N=73.

Table 1 - Probabilities of band patterns observed for a single progeny, and for bulked progenies of sizes 2 and 3, conditioned upon maternal genotype (homozygous A_iA_i or heterozygous A_iA_j).

Table 2 - Total number of alleles detected in samples bulked before DNA extraction in two T. plicata trees.

Table 3 - Genetic diversity measures and total number of alleles detected at four microsatellite loci (TP1, TP3, TP9 and TP11) in four natural populations of T. plicata .

Table 4 - Outcrossing rates (SE) at six different positions within the crown of trees (see Figure 1) in four natural populations of T. plicata .
