Outline of Final Research Achievements

The functions of SATOYAMA on genetic diversity and gene flow of tree species are unknown. In this study, genetic diversity and structure for Quercus serrata, Prunus grayana and Lonicera gracilipes, which have different breeding systems, were clarified using nuclear or cloroplast DNA markers in west SAITAMA prefecture. The genetic diversity for each species were maintaind in SATOYAMA. On the other hand, the gene flow were more limitid in entomophilous and bird dispersal species, which were scattered in the forest, than wind polinated and gravity dispersal species, which was widly distributed.
