İran’ın Batısında Yayılan Cüce Balarısı (Apis florea Fabricius) Popülasyonlarında RAPD Analizine Dayalı Genetik Varyasyon

Bu çalışmada RAPD-PCR analizini kullanarak İran’daki üç eyaletten örneklenen Apis florea popülasyonları içindeki ve arasındaki genetik ilişkiyi ve popülasyon farklılaşmasını araştırdık. İran’ın İlam, Khuzestan ve Bushehr eyaletlerine ait dokuz lokasyondan toplam 158 A. florea kolonisi çalışma için değerlendirildi. Test edilen 25 primerden 10 tanesi toplamda 115 fragment ile belirlendi. Bu çalışmadaki popülasyonlar yüksek düzeyde genetik varyasyon göstermiştir (H=0.21). Genetik uzaklığa göre, genetik olarak en uzak popülasyonlar Soush ve Dezful; ve en yakın popülasyonlar Sarollah ve Musiyan’dır. Nei genetik uzaklığına bağlı olarak oluşturulan ağaçta üç eyaletteki A. floreapopülasyonları sadece tek bir büyük küme olarak gruplanmıştır. Uzaklık ile izolasyon testi, coğrafik ve genetik uzaklık arasında anlamlı bir ilişki göstermemiştir. Ancak her eyaletteki popülasyonlar, diğer eyaletlerdeki popülasyonlardan daha çok benzerlik göstermiştir.
