Abstract
More than 70 trees belonging to the morphologically distinguishable species Quercus robur L and Quercus petraea (Matt) Liebl were sampled in a mixed stand located in western France. The ribosomal DNA repeat was characterized by a high level of length polymorphism; while chloroplast DNA in our sample was nearly fixed at 2 previously identified polymorphic regions. Overall, very little differentiation was found between species using both markers. The implications for our understanding of this complex of species are discussed.
