MORPHOMETRIC AND ELECTROPHORETIC ANALYSIS OF 2 POPULATIONS OF EUROPEAN BLACK PINE (PINUS-NIGRA ARN)

This paper examines genetic and phenotype variation of: seeds from 2 p opulations of Pinus nigra. ARNOLD subsp. salzmanii (Dunal) FRANCO. See ds size are compared with an image analyzer, showing significant diffe rences between the 2 populations, which could be induced by observed e nvironmental differences. The genetic distance is analysed, using the isozyme variation. The x(2) test shows that the allele frequencies of the ACO-1 and GOT-1 isozymes are significantly different, which means that these isozymes would appear as genetic markers capable of differe ntiating the 2 populations studied.
