    Morphologic and molecular differences between male and female G. biloba trees. (A) Male inflorescences. (B) Female inflorescences. (C) Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) pattern of male and female trees generated by primer S1478. Lane Bp, molecular weight marker; lanes 1F–5F, RAPD products from DNA of female plants collected from the city of Geneva; lanes 1M–5M, RAPD products from DNA of male plants collected from Chêne-Bougeries and Geneva. Arrowhead indicates male-related marker.
