A RAPD analysis used to assess patterns of genetic variation in Cameroon and Kenya revealed that significantly more variation partitioned among Kenyan populations than in Cameroon, with a clear genetic disjunction showing between Kenyan stands. Data suggest both particular opportunities and concerns for genetic management in the countries especially in the context of domestication in agroforestry systemsenConservation, floral history, genetic management, Prunus africana, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)Conservationfloral historygenetic managementPrunus africanarandom amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)Article
