A detailed study was made of the extent of genetic variation within populations of two moss species, Bryum argenteum and Hennediella heimii , from the Garwood Valley in Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) technology was used to analyse over 30 clumps of each s...
