The first SSR-based assessment of genetic variation and structure among Pinus laricio Poiret populations within their native area

摘要: Pinus laricio Poiret is the most widespread conifer occurring in Calabria (Sila and Aspromonte Massifs), Sicily (Mount Etna) Corsica. Particularly, Calabrian pine forests are strongly related to complex geological history, lithological climatic characteristics long human exploitation of Sila territory, which they emblematic element. As far as we know, P. populations from their main range areas have never been thoroughly studied at molecular level. This article reports on first deep analysis genetic variability structure individuals located Calabria, Corsica using both chloroplast nuclear microsatellite markers. Significant variation within low differentiation among were found by means variance estimates for types Bayesian clustering analyses revealed an unexpected grouping with and, particu...
