ECOLOGICAL AND GENETIC ANALYSIS OF POPULATION STRUCTURE OF POPULUS TREMULA L.IN PERM REGION

Abstract

The wide geographical and ecological distribution of aspens (Populus tremula L.) indicates its high adaptive potential. The ISSR-analysis of DNA polymorphisms in seven natural populations of Populus tremula L. (in the Perm region) was performed. Total of 119 bands were obtained of which 87 (73.1 %) were polymorphic. Seven natural populations of P. tremula possess different levels of genetic diversity, and there was a high level of genetic differentiation between the populations (GST = 0,550). The results of the study are promising for development of further programs of cultivation and preservation of valuable deciduous tree species.
