Abstract
Genetic variation in 45 populations (267 plants) of Rhododendron dauricum s.l. across its range in Northeast Asia was assessed with four regions of plastid DNA (ptDNA). A total of 14 haplotypes were detected. The highest diversity was observed in the south of West Siberia (the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains) and the southern Russian Far East (the Sikhote-Alin Mountains). In contrast, only one haplotype occurred in populations from East Siberia located from Baikal to the Sikhote-Alin Mountains. In general, distribution of haplotypes showed a strong phylogeographical structure (GST = 0.897; NST = 0.985) and evidence of isolation by distance, supporting the independence of four species: R. ledebourii Pojark. and R. dauricum L. s.s. in Siberia, and R. sichotense Pojark. and R. mucronulatum Turcz. in the southern part of the Far East.
