Journal: Turczaninowia
Year: 2025

The genetic structure of 39 populations of oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) from the territory of Crimea, the Caucasus, Asia Minor, and Alborz was studied based on the polymorphism of microsatellite, or single sequence repeats (SSR). Tests for isolation by distance (IBD) conducted in the GenePop program showed a high correlation of genetic differences and the logarithm of the geographic distance in units of geographic coordinates at the level of 0.91. Interpopulation genetic differentiation of
