I conducted an SDS PAGE electrophoresis on wheat wild varieties to separate their glutenins and measure the genetic diversity of my sample. I only ran one electrophoresis. Can a genetic drift explain this low value ? The samples of T. monococcum I used are from different geographical origins and the heterozygosity found is still very low compared to other studies like the
Alvarez et al, in 2006 where they analysed 22 samples all originated from a small area in Spain ( He=0.252). How can I explain it ?

S.G. Hegde, J. Valkoun and J.G. Waines ( Theor Appl Genet ,2000, 101:309–316) also report a low heterozygosity in T. monococcum as discuss posible reasons for this.
