Ecogeographic variation in the generative organs of larch in the Russian Far East

Variability and differentiation of Larix cajanderi, L. dahurica and L. sibirica on shape of cone scales

“…Отличие камчатских попу-ляций лиственницы от лиственницы Каяндера было выявлено и по кариологическим данным (Muratova, 1995). Морфологические исследова-ния показали связь камчатских популяций ли-ственницы с L. kamtschatica (Dylis, 1961;Adrianova et al, 2011). Данные по изменчивости ци-топлазматических ДНК-маркеров выявили обо-собленное генетическое положение и гибридный генезис популяций лиственницы на Камчатке (Polezhaeva, 2010;Polezhaeva al., 2010).…”

Relationships between leaf shape and climate in Rhododendron mucronulatum

“…Primorsky Krai supports a diversity of ecological and geographical conditions and represents the distributional boundary for many East Asian species. The complex topography of Primorsky Krai promotes the formation of a latitudinal temperature gradient and a longitudinal gradient of climatic continentality (Korotky and Korobov , Adrianova et al ). In addition to the mainland, Primorsky Krai includes islands located along a highly indented coastline running in the north–east to south–west direction, and it is under the influence of monsoons (Vitvickij , Vasil va 1975).…”

Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Shape Variation in the Cone-Scales of Pinus pumila (Pall.) Regel (Pinaceae) in Kamchatka

“…Investigations of inherited morphological traits such as shape of seed-bearing scales are widely used in studies of phenotypic diversity and taxonomy of conifers (Pravdin 1964, Mamaev 1973, Popov 2005, Adrianova et al 2011, and as phenotypic markers of population structure (Pute nikhin et al 2004(Pute nikhin et al , 2005. Traditional morphometric approach con sists of applying multivariate statistical analyses to sets of morphological characters of cone-scales, including li near measurements of their length, width and ratios (Puteni khin et al 2004(Puteni khin et al , 2005.…”
