20.500.12556/DiRROS-18560 Can a forest tree species progeny trial serve as an ex situ collection? A case study on Alnus glutinosa Scientifically informed decisions for the long-term conservation of extant genetic diversity should combine in situ and ex situ conservation methods. The aim of the present study was to assess if a progeny plantation consisting of several open pollinated (OP) families and established for breeding purposes can also serve as an ex situ conservation plantation, using the case study of a Lithuanian progeny trial of Alnus glutinosa, a keystone species of riparian ecosystems that warrants priority conservation actions. We employed 17 nuclear microsatellite (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers and compared the genetic diversity and copy number of the captured alleles of 22 OP progeny families from this plantation, with 10 wild A. glutinosa populations, originating from the two provenance regions of the species in Lithuania. We conclude that the progeny plantation could be used as an ex situ plantation for the A. glutinosa populations from the first provenance region (represented by eight genetic conservation units (GCU)). Based on the present study’s results, we can expect that the A. glutinosa progeny plantation harbors enough genetic diversity of wild A. glutinosa populations from the first provenance region. This progeny plantation can serve as a robust ex situ collection containing local alleles present in at least one wild population with at least 0.05 frequency with 25 replications. black alder genetic diversity allele pattern microsatellite genotypes ex situ collection črna jelša genetska raznolikost alelni vzorec mikrosatelitski genotipi zbirka ex situ true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-03-25 11:55:41 2024-03-25 11:55:41 2024-03-26 03:35:55 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 25. 3. 2024; str. 1-17 iss. 23 Vol. 12 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*16 2223-7747 10.3390/plants12233986 190174211 https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/12/23/3986 1 3a0978e5-ea96-11ee-9dd4-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=25288 RAZ_Verbylaite_Rita_2023.pdf RAZ_Verbylaite_Rita_2023.pdf 1 F6B1D7266FC1B7F5E5F751A9B0F4EB64 29fc7e3cb356d8e686a44aee7ddfb72c1ada93ab7ec15303e7eccadcc0a497ad 4c4c8f62-ea96-11ee-9dd4-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=25289 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
