dc.description.abstract | Vaccinium myrtillus L., Vaccinium uliginosum L. and Vaccinium
vitis-idaea L. are perennial, cold-adapted clonal shrubs distributed
throughout Europe, northern Asia and North America. Due to their usage
in food (berries) and pharmaceutical industry (berries and leaves),
their natural populations are exposed to anthropogenic and other impacts
that affect their genetic make-up. We analyzed 14 fragmentary
distributed and small-sized peripheral populations of these species from
the Balkans, which represents the southeastern-European marginal area of
their wide European distributions, using RAPD molecular markers. The
contemporary genetic patterns in all three species within the Balkans
were generally similar, and in comparison to previous reports on
populations of these species found in northward Europe, where they have
a more continuous distribution, the levels of genetic diversity were
more or less halved, genetic differentiation was several times higher,
gene flow exceptionally low, and the expected prevalence of clonal
individuals was lacking. The population dynamics of all three species
within the Balkans was complex and distinct, and was characterized by a
past admixture of individuals from discrete populations of the same
species and interspecific hybridisation not only between V. myrtillus
and V. vitis-idaea but also between V. uliginosum and V. vitis-idaea,
the latter not being reported to date. Conservation measures suitable
for preservation of presumably genetically distinct portions of the
Balkans' gene pools of studied species have been suggested, while the
utility of interspecific hybrids in breeding programs and/or in
food/pharmaceutical industry is yet to be assessed. | en |
