Fig. 1. Map of the geographical locations of the 26 Taxus baccata populations included in this study. Codes representing the named populations are listed in Table 1, and the borders of the natural T. baccata distribution in Poland are indicated with a black line.

Table 2. Parameters used to estimate the genetic structure of the studied Taxus baccata populations averaged across five nSSR loci. A – average number of alleles, AR25 –allelic richness, He – expected heterozygosity, Ho – observed heterozygosity, N0 – null allele frequency. View in new window/tab.
Table 3. Parameters used to estimate the level of genetic diversity and differentiation in male and female individuals A – average number of alleles, AR25 – allelic richness, He – expected heterozygosity, Ho – observed heterozygosity, N0 – null allele frequency, Fst –genetic differentiation, p–values of the statistical significance of differences between the two sample groups.
