Eleven populations of black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold subspecies pallasiana) were studied at 17 polymorphic isoenzyme gene loci. The mean number of alleles per locus (A) was 1.6. Observed heterozygosity (H-obs) was the lowest in the Gurgendag population from Kazdagi (0.119) and the highest in the Qamhyayla population from Bolkar Mountains (0.287). The expected heterozygosities (H-exp) ranged from 0.296 (Asar, from Kazdagi) to 0.181 (Cehennemdere, from Bolkar Mountains). F-ST was 0.0592 for Kazdagi and 0.0358 for Bolkar Mountains. F-IS value was -0.25 in Bolkar Mountains and 0.42 in Kazdagi, indicating considerably less heterozygosity in Kazdagi populations than expected. There were significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expected frequencies in some of loci in both Kazdagi and Bolkar Mountain populations. The deviations in Kazdagi populations were due to excess of homozygotes while they were due to excess of heterozygous genotypes in Bolkar Mountains. The estimated genetic distances between populations ranged from 0.003 to 0.666. According to the genetic distance results, populations of Kazdagi form a genetically distinct group compare to the populations of Bolkar Mountains. Based on genetic diversity and distance statistics, three populations from Kazdagi (Asar, Mihlidere and Gurgendag) and two populations from Bolkar Mountains (Ulukisla and Gulekdere) are suggested as potential in situ conservation sites.

Pattern and magnitude of genetic diversity in Pinus nigra ARNOLD subspecies pallasiana populations from Kazdagi: Implications for in situ conservation
Cengel, Burcu; Velioğlu, Ercan; Tolun, Ayper A; Kaya, Zeki (2000-01-01)
To determine the genetic structure of black pine (Pinus nigra ARNOLD subspecies pallasiana), populations sampled from Kazdag (Eybekli, Asar, Katrandag, Kalklm, Gurgendag, Kapidag, Mihlidere). Isozymes from 16 enzyme systems were investigated from haploid female megagametophytes by starch gel electrophoresis.

In order to determine the magnitude and pattern of genetic diversity among Anatolian Black pine (Pinus nigra ARNOLD subspecies pallasiana) populations sampled in Bolkar Mountains and to recommend the potential populations which may be suitable for in situ conservation of genetic resources in this species, isoenzymes from 14 enzyme systems were investigated by starch gel electrophoresis. For this reason, open pollinated seed megagametophytes of half-sib families originated from the four populations (Camliyay...
The pattern of genetic variation in shoot growth of Pinus brutia Ten. populations sampled from the Toros mountains in Turkey
Kaya, Zeki (1997-01-01)
The pattern of genetic variation in shoot growth of Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia TEN.) was studied in 180 open-pollinated families from a south to north transect in southern Turkey. Seedlings from 1 coastal, 1 inland and 2 centrally located populations (45 open-pollinated families each) were grown for 2 growing seasons in a forest nursery located near Antalya. The study revealed that both populations and families within populations varied significantly in all seedling traits except for free growth in the ...
Genetic variation in wood specific gravity of half-sib families of Pinus nigra subsp pallasiana tested at the juvenile stage: Implications for early selection
Kaya, Zeki; Temerit, A; Vurdu, H (2003-01-01)
Seeds from 7 populations (total of 281 half-sib families, progeny test) and 35 seed stands (provenance test) representing natural range of Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana) were sown in a forest nursery in Ankara in 1990 and raised until age 3. Stem wood specific gravity (WSG) of all seedlings was determined at age of 3. The results of this study indicated that WSG did not vary significantly neither among the 7 populations (ranging from 0.41 to 0.42) nor among 35 seed stands (ranging from...

Kaya, Zeki (1994-01-01)
To determine the genetic structure of marginally located populations of Pinus nigra var pallasiana, seedlings of open pollinated families from 7 populations were raised in Kizilcahamam nursery near Ankara for 2 years. Seed weight (SW) and cone weight (CW) for families, number of cotyledon per seedling (GOT), timing of bud set in 1990 (BS90) and in 1991 (BS91), bud burst timing of seedlings in 1991 (BB91), height growth in 1991 (HT90) and final height growth in 1991 (HT91) and final diameter growth of seedli...
