The assessment of the genetic diversity of cultivated varieties is a very important element of breeding programs. This allows the determination of the level of genetic differentiation of cultivated varieties, their genetic distinctiveness, and is also of great importance in the selection of parental components for crossbreeding. The aim of the present study was to determine the level of genetic diversity of oat varieties currently grown in Central Europe based on two marker systems: ISSR and SCoT. The research conducted showed that both these types of markers were suitable for conducting analyses relating to the assessment of genetic diversity. The calculated coefficients showed that the analyzed cultivars were characterized by a high genetic similarity. However, the UPGMA and PCoA analyses clearly indicated the distinctiveness of the breeding programs conducted in Central European countries. The high genetic similarity of the analyzed forms allow us to conclude that it is necessary to expand the genetic pool of oat varieties. Numerous studies show that landraces may be the donor of genetic variation.

Samples of the large sublittoral sea anemone Urticina eques (Gosse) were collected from three localities in the northern North Sea and from one locality in the northern Irish Sea. Around the coast the total distance between sampling sites is approximately 1,200 km. The species has a large lecithotrophic larva which may not be planktonic. All samples were screened genetically for 13 loci coding for 11 different enzymes. Results overall indicated a high degree of genetic uniformity over the four populations sampled (FST = 0·025). The data are discussed in relation to current ideas of larval dispersal and results from other similar studies. It is concluded that the lack of genetic differentiation shown by Urticina eques is surprising given the apparently poor dispersive powers of the larva.

The objective of this study was to evaluate genetic diversity of 35 Huperzia samples collected from the different ecological areas in Vietnam by using rbcL markers. The results revealed that the samples were genetically diverse in high genetic similarity which ranged from 98.0 to 99.0%, respectively. Based on the Genbank data in comparison, it was ascertained that only one sample (BK3) is a member of H.phlegmarioides group, and others belonged H. squarrosa group as divided into two main groups by phylogenetic tree analyses. It suggests that some Huperzia samples may plausibly descend from the same origin, evolution and arising relations. This study has provided useful information for further identifying the high-quality genetic plant sources for propagation, development and conservation of the high-valued medicinal materials of Huperzia plants in this country.

Abstract The use of DNA barcoding in alien invasions has recently proved to be a powerful tool in delineating dispersal pathways and clarifying doubtful identifications. Morphological similarities between Anadara kagoshimensis (Tokunaga, 1906) and Anadara inaequivalvis (Bruguière, 1789) require the use of genetic markers in identifying the ark shell species that has recently invaded the Black Sea. The high genetic similarity (99.8-100%) hereby found between COI sequences obtained from the Black Sea samples and Japanese A. kagoshimensis confirms at a molecular level that the ark clam species invading the Romanian Black Sea belong to this taxon.
