DISTRIBUTION OF THE CYANOGENIC PHENOTYPE OF LOTUS CORNICULATUS L. IN THE MURREE HILLS, THE JHELUM AND THE SWAT VALLEYS OF NORTHERN PAKISTAN
Abstract
Sixteen Lotus comiculatus populations growing at altitudes ranging from 1036 to 2209 m were sampled for leaf-cyanogenesis. The areas chosen for this purpose were the Murree Hills, the Jhelum and the Swat valleys in the north of Pakistan. No evidence was obtained to suggest that there was any association between the distribution of the cyanogenic phenotype and altitude and hence cold temperature. All the populations sampled seemed to be monomorphic for the
