Abstract Populus euphratica from the only known population in Spain was studied using genetic fingerprinting (AFLPs) to evaluate the level of genetic variation in the population. Three primer combinations were used, giving 132 interpretable bands. Using this technique we were unable to detect any genetic variation between individuals tested, and the population appears to be clonal in origin. The results are discussed in relation to the likely history of the population and its conservation.
