Abstract We examined intraspecific chloroplast (cp) DNA variation within Populus deltoides, P. nigra, and P. maximowiczii by restriction fragment analysis using 16 restriction endonucleases and six heterologous probes of cloned Petunia cpDNA fragments. All three Populus species showed intraspecific cpDNA variation, which was intra- and inter-varietal in P. deltoides, intervarietal in P. nigra, and origin-specific in P. maximowiczii. Two varieties of P. deltoides, var deltoides and var occidentalis, showed distinct cp genomes/DNA. Three distinct cp genomes/DNA, separated by a loss or gain of 1 EcoRV restriction site and/or 1 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), were observed among the individuals of P. deltoides var deltoides. Within P. nigra, cpDNA of var italica was distinct from that of vars nigra and plantierensis by one RFLP and by a loss or gain of one BamHI restriction site. Populus maximowiczii clones of Chinese origin were separated from those of Japanese origin by a gain or loss of one ClaI restriction site in their cpDNA. The estimate of nucleotide substitutions per site in cpDNA was 0.07% between two varieties of P. deltoides, 0.05% between var italica and var nigra or plantierensis of P. nigra, and 0.01% between Japanese and Chinese accessions of P. maximowiczii.
