In the study, Ann Killary from the university and colleagues used a genetic technique termed 'suppression subtractive hybridization' to identify a new gene that is located on Chromosome 1 in a region where loss of heterozygosity (a specific type of genetic alteration) regularly occurs.
No loss of heterozygosity was observed between wild and broodstock samples or between broodstock and F1 samples.
Considerable genetic variation was found within and among these five bald cypress populations and mean heterozygosity was 0.
