(A) The relationship between mean DNA C-value (±standard error) and altitude in populations of Dactylis glomerata at three sites in southern Europe, Spain, France and Italy. (B) The relationships between plants from low altitude (light shading) and high altitude (dark shading) populations of Dactylis glomerata based on AFLP variation using two different methods of analysis, neighbour-joining and UPGMA.
