【 摘 要 】

The chemical composition of essential oils was used to study the spatial structure of eight Eugenia dysenterica populations in central Brazilian Cerrado. Variation partitioning using spatial and environmental data sets as predictors was highly significant and explained 7.8 and 8.1% of oil chemovariations, respectively. Results suggested that essential oil polymorphism was genetically rather than environmentally determined. Furthermore, the intercept of the multivariate Mantel autocorrelogram between the distance matrices of oil constituents and sampling sites suggested that the populations differ chemically whenever geographical distance exceeds 120 km. It stands, therefore, as an alternative indicator of the minimal distance between samples required for conserving the genetic diversity of populations.
