Background/Objectives: The stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is an evergreen coniferous species valued for its edible seeds, which provide significant economic benefits to local populations. Remarkable phenotypic plasticity but low genetic variation characterizes the species. In Greece, natural populations of P. are part Natura 2000 network and protected under Annex I Priority Habitat type 2270. These populations, located across six sites (including two islands), face increasing threats from...
Juniperus drupacea Labill is a unique representative tree which, nowadays, has limited geographical range. In Greece, it exists only in the southeastern part of Peloponnese, and labeled as endangered according to IUCN Europe. light climatic changes, conservation plan which will secure its adaptation resilience important. Knowledge genetic epigenetic diversity J. Greece can establish pledge for sustainability. this study, with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers assessed...
New mutations provide the raw material for evolution and adaptation. The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) describes spectrum new that can occur along a genome, is, therefore, vital interest in evolutionary biology. Recent work has uncovered striking similarities DFE between closely related species, prompting us to ask whether there is variation among populations same or species with different degrees divergence, at levels evolution. Using exome capture data from six tree sampled across...
Climate change has been projected to negatively affect genetic resources of the forests worldwide. Thus, integrating biotechnological innovations with traditional forest conservation strategies offers as a promising pathway enhance resilience resources. Biodiversity informatics plays crucial role in managing and analysing data, supporting informed decision-making management conservation. Advancements genomics sequencing technologies, such next-generation (NGS) whole genome (WGS), have...
A first assessment of genetic diversity and expansion the invasive species Amorpha fruticosa L. was estimated in 91E0* (Annex I Dir. 92/43/EEC) priority habitat Nestos. A. is a perennial deciduous shrub belonging to family Fabaceae native south-western part North America, which recently introduced Europe as an ornamental plant. Its through cross-border river Nestos has significant negative effects on (a with Alnus glutinosa, Populus alba, Ulmus minor). Herein, we studied amplified fragment...
Taxus baccata L. is a tertiary relict, long-lived, wind-pollinated dioecious tree species found throughout Europe. In the rocky mountains of Thasos island, monumental old trees create unique area natural beauty. recent times, need to implement conservation measures for key endangered such as has intensified. Exploring genetic diversity prerequisite successful forest management decisions aimed at conservation. this study, 28 from two populations were investigated using eight Simple Sequence...
The genetic monitoring of forest trees is the utmost importance for securing maintenance species' adaptive potential. Genetic monitoring, quantification temporal changes in a population's variation and structure, introduces prognosis assists defining tools management resources. Forest (FGM) imperative biodiversity hotspots such as Greece, one most species-rich European countries, where >7000 native plant taxa (~20% endemics) exist 28% its land base included Natura 2000 Special Areas...
