Abstract—

The adaptation of different Spiraea species to changing environmental conditions is associated with typical biomorphological and reproductive strategies. Forest species of the Spiraea genus form clonal–panmictic populations and have strategies combining the advantages of panmictic and clonal populations. The populations of these species are genetically stable due to a combination of different forms of renewal and the ability to change adaptive strategies. The levels of genetic variability in the populations of forest Spiraea species can vary widely. Steppe and rocky species of Spiraea form mainly panmictic populations, in which cross pollination prevails and monocentric biomorphs are observed. Closely related crossings occurring both inside one clone and between clones cause low levels of variability. The Spiraea species from moist habitats mainly form clonal populations with polycentric biomorphs and vegetative propagation due to root offshoots and/or xylorhizomes, with low levels of variability due to the formation of identical clones or average variability due to mutations. The results of genetic studies of the Spiraea species can be used to identify populations requiring preservation, as well as to manage genetic resources ex situ.
