It should be noted that this population genetic study is conducted at a scale that has never been used for a South American plant species. It is the first time, to our knowledge, that such a continental study has been conducted in the Neotropics on two different species in parallel. All other published studies usually focused on smaller geographical ranges (Dutech et al., 2(X)0, 2(X)3, 2(X)4 TrapneU and Hamrick, 2004) or used only one type of marker (Degen et al., 2001 Lira et al., 2003).

With the advent of protein sequencing, also in the 1950s, attempts were made to study protein variation directly on the primary structure. However, the method was very expensive and time-consuming and could not be applied to population genetics. It remained confined to evolutionary study of differences between species (applied to molecular phylogenetics) and to the demonstration of sequence mutation in important heritable diseases. 

Caution is needed because the original study may have been designed for a particular population, but the genetic study comprises a restricted, different population such that the randomization may not have been considered appropriate for the genetic study.
