Genetic Diversity of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae) Populations in İzmir (Turkey)

This study was performed out genetic diversity of some Elaeagnus angustifolia L. populations growing in İzmir province by using ISSR markers. In the study, PCR 15 primers. products were run agarose gel and visualized under UV light. Amplified scored as follows. A total 46 bands produced from primers, which 27 polymorphic. The proportion polymorphic evaluated approximately 58.7%. Genetic distances between phylogenetic trees genotypes calculated PAUP program. tree consists two large clades. longest distance Gümüldür-Özdere Çeşme-Alaçatı population with a value 0.50, while closest Çeşme-Ayayorgi Konak-Hatay 0.06. results show that markers are useful tools for determining relationships E.
