RESUMO

Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying the stress response in plants is essential to understand evolutionary processes that result in long-term persistence of populations. Populations inhabiting marginal ecological conditions at the distribution range periphery may have preserved imprints of natural selection that have shaped functional genetic variation of the species. Our aim was to evaluate the extent of selection processes in the extremely fragmented, peripheral and isolated populations of Scots pine in central-eastern Europe. Autochthonous populations of the Carpathian Mts. and the Pannonian Basin were sampled and drought stress-related candidate genes were re-sequenced. Neutrality tests and outlier detection approaches were applied to infer the effect and direction of selection. Populations retained high genetic diversity by preserving a high number of alleles and haplotypes, many of them being population specific. Neutrality tests and outlier detection highlighted nucleotide positions that are under divergent selection and may be involved in local adaptation. The detected genetic pattern confirms that natural selection has played an important role in shaping modern-day genetic variation in marginal Scots pine populations, allowing for the long-term persistence of populations. Selection detected at functional regions possibly acts to maintain diversity and counteract the effect of genetic erosion.
