Genetic diversity of an endangered species, Fokienia hodginsii (Cupressaceae)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fokienia hodginsii (Cupressaceae) is distributed in montane evergreen forests in North and Central Vietnam and extends to southeastern China at 900 m above sea level. The species has been threatened in its area of distribution in recent years because of habitat destruction and over-exploitation. The genetic variation of F. hodginsii in Vietnam was investigated on the basis of eight ISSR markers. Three hundred and twenty-two sampled trees from eight populations in six provinces of Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Son La, Hoa Binh, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An, were used as material for the study. The ISSR data showed low genetic variability at both population and species level, with an average of 0.0701 and 0.1145, respectively. Genetic differentiation among populations was high (Gst = 0.2771), indicating limited gene flow (Nm = 1.3046). However, the implication of the results from this study which is to conserve genetic resources of this species was discussed.

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were developed for Callitris sulcata (Cupressaceae), an endangered conifer species in New Caledonia. METHODS AND RESULTS Using sequencing by synthesis (SBS) of an RNA-Seq library, 15 polymorphic nuclear and chloroplast microsatellite markers were developed. When evaluated with 48 individuals, these markers showed genetic variations ranging from two ...

Glyptostrobus pensilis (Staunton ex D. Don) K. Koch is a critically endangered species, only distributed in South China and Vietnam. Genetic variation within and between populations was investigated using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR). One hundred and seventy individuals from fourteen populations representing five regions in southern and southeastern China were sampled. The results show t...

Genetic structure of an endemic tooth-carp fish, Aphanius farsicus from four different water bodies in the Maharlu Lake basin was investigated by applying five microsatellite markers. All of the five examined microsatellite loci showed polymor-phism pattern. A total of four alleles were detected at five microsatellite loci, with an average of 2.8 to 3.5 alleles per locus. Average values of obse...
