Population genetic structure and its implication in the conservation of Schizopygopsis pylzovi in Yellow River as inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis

Y. N. Ma, Du, Y. Y., Zhang, Y. P., Wang, T., Ma, Y. N., Du, Y. Y., Zhang, Y. P., and Wang, T., “Population genetic structure and its implication in the conservation of Schizopygopsis pylzovi in Yellow River as inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequence analysis”, vol. 15. p. -, 2016.

To assess the genetic diversity, structure, and population dynamics of Schizopygopsis pylzovi, we examined the changes in mitochondrial DNA sequences (the mtDNA control region and the Cyt b gene; 1835 bp) in 304 individuals from nine populations. The samples were segregated into 112 haplotypes, with high haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity. The haplotype diversity was highest in the Minhe (HS) range of Huangshui River and lowest in the Weiyuan (WY) range of Weihe River.

Genetic diversity and the conservation priority of Glycine soja populations from Northern China

Y. L. Niu, Guo, W. Y., Bai, L. R., and Zhao, J. C., “Genetic diversity and the conservation priority of Glycine soja populations from Northern China”, vol. 14, pp. 16608-16615, 2015.

Knowledge of the spatial patterns of genetic variation in wild populations has significant implications for in situ conservation and the determination of conservation order. To study the levels of genetic diversity, spatial genetic structures, and genetic distances in Glycine soja, 11 natural populations in northern China were analyzed by estimating genetic coefficients using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) fingerprints via mixed sampling strategies.
