Phylogeography of Scots pine in Europe and Asia based on mtDNA polymorphisms

Witold Wachowiak et al.

Summary: We analyzed mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms to investigate the genetic structure and admixture patterns of Scots pine in Europe and Asia. The study revealed weak population structure in Central and Eastern Europe, indicating postglacial expansion from multiple sources to middle and northern latitudes. The presence of different mitotype variants suggests distinct genetic lineages of the species in Europe, with contributions from various regions. Additionally, a refugium in the northern parts of the Black Sea basin played a role in the genetic variation observed in some populations in the Balkans, Ukraine, and western Russia.

Changes in the gene pool composition of Scots pine depending on the mode of regeneration

Weronika Barbara Zukowska et al.

Summary: Silvicultural practices can have unpredictable effects on forest genetic resources, especially for species with northern distribution centers. This study compared the genetic diversity of the Scots pine seed tree stand, its natural regeneration, and two artificially established progeny plantations to determine the efficiency of gene pool transmission. The results showed that all stands represented a common genetic pool, with slightly higher observed heterozygosity in the progeny plantations. Inbreeding was significant only in natural regeneration. The study discusses genetic considerations for establishing and using seeds from progeny plantations in Poland.

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) dynamics in the Welsh Marches during the mid to late-Holocene

Dael Sassoon et al.

Summary: The study revealed that Scots pine populations persisted in the Welsh Marches from around 6900 to 300 cal yr BP, potentially due to individual trees growing on thin soils of drought-prone crags or lowland bogs. On the other hand, modern Scots pine populations are likely mostly the result of human planting activities.

The evolutionary heritage and ecological uniqueness of Scots pine in the Caucasus ecoregion is at risk of climate changes

M. Dering et al.

Summary: The research found that the high genetic variability of Scots pine populations in the Caucasus reflects a unique evolutionary trajectory compared to the main range in Europe. Currently, Scots pine grows under a broad spectrum of climatic conditions in the Caucasus, but its genetic resources are under threat from climate change. Predictions suggest that over 90% of the current distribution of Scots pine may be lost in this century, greatly impacting the biodiversity of the Caucasus hot-spot.

Genetic Structure, Differentiation and Originality of Pinus sylvestris L. Populations in the East of the East European Plain

Yulia Vasilyeva et al.

Summary: The study focused on genetic diversity, structure, and differentiation of Scots pine populations in the east of the East European Plain. Research revealed high genetic diversity in natural populations, with a trend of decreasing diversity from west to east. Populations were highly differentiated and formed two groups based on geographic location, with specific gene pools identified as sources of genetic diversity for conservation.
