RESUMO
This article presents a study of isozyme variation in Pinus peuce Griseb., a Balkan endemic. Among the enzyme systems studied, five were monomorphic and eight were polymorphic in at least one locus. The segregation analysis of the polymorphic loci were consistent with a Mendelian mode of inheritance. No significant deviation from the expected ratio was observed both at the individual and pooled segregation data levels. Segregation patterns were homogeneous across individuals. Two significant linkage groups were found in P. peuce: FEST-2:LAP-2 and 6PG-1:6PG-2, which correspond to the results obtained for other pine species.

Genetic structure of 25 indigenous populations of sessile and pedunculate oaks (Quercus petraea and Q. robur), originating from three geographical regions: Slovakia, Bulgaria and the Republic Mari-El (Russia), was investigated using isozyme markers. Mean number of alleles per locus ranged between 1.8 and 2.6 in Q. robur populations and from 2.0 to 3.0 in Q. petraea populations; slightly higher expected heterozygosity values were found in Q. robur compared to Q. petraea. One locus, coding for a substrate-nonspecific dehydrogenase, differentiated the two species. The interspecific component of gene diversity was 46.7% at this locus, compared to 0.4-7.8% at the remaining loci.
