“…Although lower levels of genetic diversity are generally expected in clonal plant species (Hamrick and Godt 1989;Bartish et al 1999;Nybom and Bartish 2000), several studies revealed as much genetic diversity in clonal as in non-clonal plants (Ellstrand and Roose 1987), and this holds also for Vaccinium species (e.g. Stewart and Excoffier 1996;Kreher et al 2000;Persson and Gustavsson 2001;Albert et al 2003Albert et al , 2004Albert et al , 2005Garkava-Gustavsson et al 2005;Eidesen et al 2007;Debnath 2007;Yakimowski and Eckert 2008;Žukauskienė et al 2009;Hirai et al 2010).…”

., Aleksić J.M. (2015). Genetic patterns in rangeedge populations of Vaccinium species from the central Balkans: implications on conservation prospects and sustainable usage. Silva Fennica vol. 49 no. 4 article id 1283. 23 p. Highlights• We studied fragmentary distributed range-edge populations of Vaccinium myrtillus, Vaccinium uliginosum and Vaccinium vitis-idaea from the Balkans using RAPDs.• Low genetic diversities and high genetic differentiation were found in all species.• The prevalence of clonal individuals was not observed.• Past interspecific hybridization among V. vitis-idaea and the other two species was detected.• Guidelines for conservation and sustainable usage were provided. AbstractVaccinium myrtillus L., Vaccinium uliginosum L. and Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. are perennial, coldadapted clonal shrubs distributed throughout Europe, northern Asia and North America. Due to their usage in food (berries) and pharmaceutical industry (berries and leaves), their natural populations are exposed to anthropogenic and other impacts that affect their genetic make-up. We analyzed 14 fragmentary distributed and small-sized peripheral populations of these species from the Balkans, which represents the southeastern-European marginal area of their wide European distributions, using RAPD molecular markers. The contemporary genetic patterns in all three species within the Balkans were generally similar, and in comparison to previous reports on populations of these species found in northward Europe, where they have a more continuous distribution, the levels of genetic diversity were more or less halved, genetic differentiation was several times higher, gene flow exceptionally low, and the expected prevalence of clonal individuals was lacking. The population dynamics of all three species within the Balkans was complex and distinct, and was characterized by a past admixture of individuals from discrete populations of the same species and interspecific hybridisation not only between V. myrtillus and V. vitis-idaea but also between V. uliginosum and V. vitis-idaea, the latter not being reported to date. Conservation measures suitable for preservation of presumably genetically distinct portions of the Balkans' gene pools of studied species have been suggested, while the utility of interspecific hybrids in breeding programs and/ or in food/pharmaceutical industry is yet to be assessed.

“…This negative spiral increases the possibility of extinction (Newman and Pilson 1997;van Treuren et al 1993). However, most studies on endangered or threatened species were conducted on outcrossing species (Hirai et al 2010;Honjo et al 2009;Morgan 1999). The difference in mating system, i.e., outcrossing or inbreeding may affect not only the degree of inbreeding depression, but also colonization and speciation (Jain 1976).…”

Viola grayi, a coastal violet, is found on sandy seashores in limited regions in Japan, but not on rocky sea cliffs or in inland areas. This stemmed violet is classified in the subsection Rostratae. Because of recent human activity on sandy seashores, this species is now recorded as endangered. The present status of this species was surveyed and its genetic diversity was analyzed using 17 newly developed simple sequence repeat markers. The results are compared with those for two commonly found inland violet species in the same subsection, V. grypoceras and V. kusanoana. The coastal violet populations showed markedly lower genetic diversity than those of the common species, V. grypoceras, whereas V. kusanoana showed intermediate genetic diversity. About a half of the total genetic variation of V. grayi is found among populations in analysis of molecular variance. In contrast, only less than 25% of the total variation is found among populations for the two common violets. These three species showed a remarkably high inbreeding coefficient, which indicates high inbreeding under natural mating conditions, although these species have both chasmogamous and cleistogamous flowers. In a population-based dendrogram, V. grayi was clustered in a single and concise group, whereas V. grypoceras and V. kusanoana were found in somewhat discrete positions. In the Bayesian analysis of genetic structure of the coastal violet, delta K was the highest at K = 7, and the seven clusters almost correspond to seven populations studied here. Implications of the conservation of this endangered coastal violet are presented.

“…is a deciduous shrub of 2-3 m height that is found in Korea, China, and Japan. The fruit of some wild Vaccinium species have been collected and used as food by humans for centuries (Hirai et al 2010). In particular, antioxidants present in blueberries are effective in the prevention of cancer, heart disease, and vascular and neurodegenerative diseases.…”
