Genetic relationship among Eurasian and American Larix species based on allozymes

@article{Semerikov1999GeneticRA,  title={Genetic relationship among Eurasian and American Larix species based on allozymes},  author={Vladimir L. Semerikov and Martin Lascoux},  journal={Heredity},  year={1999},  volume={83},  pages={62-70},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:22249365}}
The resulting phylogeny indicates a clear phylogeny between American and Eurasian species, in agreement with recent palaeontological findings that suggest that gene flow between Americans and Eurasians species has been unlikely since the last glaciation.

Genetic differentiation of larch populations from the larix olgensis range and their relationships with larches from Siberia and Russian Far East

It was found that these populations are as genetically distant from population collected L. olgensis locus classicus as from other pure larch species and the similarity of the L. Olgensis range populations to hybrid species located in adjacent territories was shown.

Nuclear and cytoplasmic variation within and between Eurasian Larix (Pinaceae) species.

Although population differentiation at both nuclear and chloroplast markers was much weaker than at mitochondrial DNA, it nonetheless corroborated the grouping observed with mitochondrial DNA and indicated that populations around Lake Baikal are hybrids between L. gmelinii and L. sibirica.

Recolonization and radiation in Larix (Pinaceae): evidence from nuclear ribosomal DNA paralogues

This study suggests that the distribution pattern analysis of members of multiple gene family would be very useful in tracking the evolutionary history of some taxa with recent origin or rapid radiation that cannot be resolved by other molecular markers.

Genetic Diversity and Relationships Among Siberian and Far Eastern Larches Inferred from RAPD Analysis

Analysis of the genetic relationships showed that L. kamtschatica was characterized by highest genetic differentiation from the other larches examined, while larches from Primorskii krai were genetically close to L. sibirica.

Marked Intragenomic Heterogeneity and Geographical Differentiation of nrDNA ITS in Larixpotaninii (Pinaceae)

Nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) of gymnosperms, especially Pinaceae, is characterized by slow concerted evolution and exhibits substantial ITS-region length variation (975–3663 bp), in sharp contrast…

Genetic Uniqueness and Genetic Structure of Populations of Picea obovata Ledeb. and Larix sibirica Ledeb. in the Northern and Middle Urals

An innovative approach for selecting populations suitable for reforestation, taking into account their genetic uniqueness using Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) markers is presented, finding that the indicators of genetic diversity were significantly higher in L. sibirica compared to P. obovata, while the number of rare alleles was greater in Siberian spruce.

Contrasting microsatellite variation between subalpine and western larch, two closely related species with different distribution patterns

A similar geographical structure was detected in both species, suggesting at least two genetically distinct glacial populations in each species, suggest Holocene population bottlenecks and fluctuations in effective population size for this species.

Range-wide genetic diversity in natural populations of Larix principis-rupprechtii Mayr.

Genetic diversity was significantly associated with longitude but not elevation or climatic factors, and the populations with high genetic diversity from each cluster are recommended for future conservation and management of Prince Rupprecht's larch.

Enhanced hybridization rates in a Larix gmelinii var. japonica × L. kaempferi interspecific seed orchard with a single maternal clone revealed by cytoplasmic DNA markers

We identified diagnostic chloroplast DNA and mitochondrial DNA markers that can (a) discriminate between Larix gmelinii var. japonica and L. kaempferi, and (b) determine the maternal and paternal…

Intra- and interspecific allozyme variability in Eurasian Larix Mill. species

Far-eastern populations of Larix species, appear to be genetically close to both L. gmelinii and to L. olgensis, suggesting that they originated through introgressive hybridization between these two species.

Molecular divergence in the eastern Asia– eastern North America disjunct section Rytidospermum of Magnolia (Magnoliaceae)

The heterogeneous pattern of divergence in the eastern Asia-eastern North American disjunct section Rytidospermum of Magnolia suggests that the floristic similarity between the two continents was most likely attained by multiple migrations via both Bering and North Atlantic land bridges, or possibly even with involvement of dispersal.

Patterns of allozyme variation in tamarack (Larix laricina) from northern Ontario

Four methods of cluster analysis based on genetic distances and a discriminant function analysis of the genotypic structure of the populations revealed no consistent patterns of variation relative to geographic location, although one of the clustering procedures showed a weak east–west pattern.

Population structure and genic diversity in tamarack, Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch.

Results of this survey indicated that the species has levels of genic variation comparable with those of other species of woody perennials with extensive transcontinental ranges, and on average, populations of this species were more differentiated and more genetically divergent from one another compared with many randomly mating tree species.

Genetic variation in allozymes of western larch

The consistently low values for all samples suggest that genetic drift has played a major role in the genetic history of the species in the Inland Empire, both through its glacial history in postulated refugia and through fire history in recent times.

Phylogeny and biogeography of Aralia sect. Aralia (Araliaceae).

Comparisons with results of phylogenetic analyses of other genera suggested that (1) the floristic connection between eastern North America and western North America may be stronger than previously thought; and (2) the biogeographic patterns in the Northern Hemisphere are complex.

Inheritance of allozymes in Larix decidua Mill.

The inheritance of eleven enzyme systems at 19 loci was investigated using both macrogametophyte and embryo tissues of open pollinated seeds of Larix decidua to test for deviations from the Mendelian segregation.

This paper shows how suitable evolutionary models can be constructed and applied objectively and how the type of data will affect both the method of treatment and the validity of the results.

Genetic relationships among larch species based on analysis of restriction fragment variation for chloroplast DNA.

The genetic relationships among eight species and three varieties within the genus Larix were studied by analysing restriction fragment length polymorphism in chloroplast DNA (cpDNA). Six restricti...

Molecular Evolutionary Genetics

Recent developments of statistical methods in molecular phylogenetics are reviewed and it is shown that the mathematical foundations of these methods are not well established, but computer simulations and empirical data indicate that currently used methods produce reasonably good phylogenetic trees when a sufficiently large number of nucleotides or amino acids are used.
