Use of ISSR markers for determination of convergent evolutionary relations in Fagus genus

Cytology and Genetics 2004, v 38, number 3, 60-65

Genetic relationships between members of Fagus genus were assessed using ISSR markers and amplification. The taxonomic status of Fagus sylvatica L. and Fagus orientalis LYPSKY. species in Ukraine has been ascertained more precisely. Intraspecies mean genetic distances were compared according to Nei & Li and respective dendrogram was constructed with the complete joining method.
