Abstract:Dryas octopetala is an important arctic alpine species, but its morphological analyses are scarce. The study deals with present European biogeographical structure based on morphology and its relations to the phylogenetic structure and the climate. Characters of leaves from 23 isolated populations were measured, statistically characterized and analyzed with the use of ANOVA and the discriminant analysis. All the features differentiated the tested samples significantly. Differences between plants representing regions were greater than between the samples within regions with regard to the four characters. The most visible division ran between the samples coming from the southern and the northern parts of the range, with the sample from the Western Scandinavia occupying the central position. Correlations between characters and climactic factors were shown, and the size of the leaf was associated mainly with the minimum temperatures of spring months, while the leaf shape with the rainfall during the summer months. Characters differentiating the regions and discriminating populations strongly were mostly dependent on the influence of the climate. The results of the present study were not fully consistent with the outcomes of the biogeographic molecular analyses of the researched species. Some parallels can be drawn when comparing the present analyses with the geographic differentiation of two other arctic-alpine shrubs Salix herbacea and S. reticulata. Although morphological diversity of Dryas octopetala showed a geographic structure, it was most probably shaped mainly by the influence of the environmental and climatic factors.

“…Scots pine has been the subject of numerous studies in Europe, both morphological and genetic, and there is a need for continued research, as the species is of very high value in modern forestry (Pintarić, 2002). Although molecular methods are dominant in population studies, morphometric methods still play a significant role in illustrating patterns of intra-provenance and inter-provenance variability (Zebec et al, 2010;Brus et al, 2011;Galvan et al, 2012;Jasińska et al, 2012;Paridari et al, 2013;Poljak et al, 2014;Zebec et al, 2014;Popović and Kerkez, 2016 These results indicate that habitat conditions, in addition to genetic constitution, are of great importance in the growth of different provenances. The better success of all provenances in Žepče was expected given the more favorable habitat conditions prevailing there.…”

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is one of the most important tree species in European forests. This study aims to determine whether there is inter-provenance variability in researched morphological traits in two international provenance tests of Scots pine in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We measured height, root collar diameter, and latest shoot length and counted branches on the latest branch whorl of Scots pine plants in two provenance tests. The provenance tests are located in Kupres and Žepče, in different climatic, edaphic, and orographic conditions. Kupres and Žepče contain 15 and 14 provenances, respectively, eleven of which are mutual to both sites. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance showed differences among provenances in all investigated morphological traits. These differences were attributable to provenance test, provenance, and interaction between provenance test and provenance.The average values were higher in Žepče for all provenances and all studied traits. The Austria A1, Austria A2, Austria A3, and Poland P1 provenances showed the best growth in both tests, while the Italy I1 provenance showed good growth in Žepče but not in Kupres. IZVLEČEKRdeči bor (Pinus sylvestris L.) je ena izmed najpomembnejših drevesnih vrst v Evropi. Pričujoča raziskava ugotavlja, ali med proveniencami, uporabljenimi v dveh provenienčnih testih rdečega bora v Bosni in Hercegovini, obstaja variabilnost preučevanih morfoloških lastnosti. Izmerili smo višino dreves, premer koreninskega vratu in dolžino terminalnega poganjka ter prešteli veje na najmlajšem vencu vej v dveh provenienčnih testih. Provenienčna testa sta locirana v Kupresu (15 provenienc) in Žepčah (14 provenienc) v različnih podnebnih, edafskih in orografskih razmerah. Obema provinenčnima testoma je skupnih 11 provenienc. Deskriptivna statistika in analiza variance kažeta na razlike med proveniencami pri vseh preučevanih morfoloških lastnostih, ki jih pripisujemo provenienčnim testom, proveniencam in interakciji med provenienčnim testom in provenienco. Povprečne vrednosti so bile za vse provenience in vse preučevane lastnosti višje v Žepčah. Provenience Avstrija A1, Avstrija A2, Avstrija A3 in Poljska P1 so v obeh testih izkazale najboljšo rast, medtem ko je bila izmerjena rast Italije I1 dobra v provenienčnem testu v Žepčah, ne pa tudi v Kupresu.

“…Needle is the most vigorous assimilation organs for conifer species, and the morphological and anatomical traits of needle are important references to plant taxonomy (Anna K. et al, 2013;Xing, 2014;Huang, 2016). Needle traits are closely associated with physiological and functional attributes of plants including photosynthesis, respiration, water metabolism, nutritional status, as well as stress resistance (Oleksyn et al, 1997;Eguchi et al, 2004;Wu, 2007;Mao et al, 2012).…”

The morphological and anatomical traits of needles are important to evaluate geographic variation and population dynamics of conifer species. Variations of morphological and anatomical needle traits in coniferous species are considered to be the consequence of genetic evolution, and be used in geographic variation and ecological studies, etc. Pinus tabuliformis is a particular native coniferous species in northern and central China. For understanding its adaptive evolution in needle traits, the needle samplings of 10 geographic populations were collected from a 30yr provenience common garden trail that might eliminate site environment effect and show genetic variation among populations and 20 needle morphological and anatomical traits were involved. The results showed that variations among and within populations were significantly different over all the measured traits and the variance components within population were generally higher than that among populations in the most measured needle traits. Population heritabilities in all measured traits were higher than 0.7 in common garden sampling among populations. Needle traits were more significantly correlated with longitude than other factors. First five principal components accounted for 81.6% of the variation with eigenvalues greater than 1; the differences among populations were mainly dependent on needle width, stomatal density, section areas of vascular bundle, total resin canals, and mesophyll, as well as area ratio traits. Ten populations were divided into two categories by Euclidean distance. Variations in needle traits among the populations have shown systematic microevolution in terms of geographic impact on P. tabuliformis. This study would provide empirical data to characterize adaptation and genetic variation of P. tabuliformis, which should be more available for ecological studies.
