Abstract: 

Population genetics has a significant role to play in the analysis and description of biodiversity in plant communities and populations. This paper aims to give a general overview of population genetics methods that can be used to quantify biodiversity, and methods that can be used to determine genetic diversity within and among plant populations. In order to understand the basic idea of biodiversity measurements, it is important not only to be familiar with common methods employed in assessing genetic diversity, but also to have a general understanding of the mathematics used to translate experimental information into a form suitable for assessing biodiversity. Such aspects will be covered in general terms with reference to examples of their application to various fields of plant genetics in recent years.
