Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to prevent the illegal sell of wood and to contribute the establishment of conservation area of Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri), which is highly threatened, we conducted the phylogeographic study of this tropical Lauraceae tree species. Sixteen nuclear microsatellite markers are developed and sequencing regions in chloroplast are decided by Next generation sequencer analysis. Totally 310 individuals in 9 populations located in Sumatra Island and Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, are genetically analyzed. The essential information for establishment of the conservation area is obtained, that this species have clear genetic structure and the genetic differentiation among populations. Most of chloroplast haplotypes, being peculiar to each population, are useful for checking of illegal sell of this species.
