Intraspecific DNA variation among 16 provenances
of Pinus banksiana was demonstrated cytophotometrically
with chicken erythrocyte nuclei used as an internal
standard. The measured factor of increase was 1.18.
The use of a single source of pine nuclei as an'internal
standard was also evaluated and the pine nuclei cannot
be recommended for internal reference without careful
testing, since extreme variation in DNA amounts was
observed. The use of chicken erythrocyte nuclei as
an internal standard is recommended.
