Abstract

The variability of the mitochondrial locus mh44 was studied in 24 natural populations of Siberian spruce (Picea obovata Ledeb.). Thirteen allelic variants differing in the number of repeats of the 32-nucleotide minisatellite motif were identified. The parameters of intra- and interpopulation diversity and the level of differentiation of the spruce populations included in the study were determined.
