                            <p>Black poplar is an economically important tree species that spreads in the Eastern and Central Anatolian regions of Türkiye and is used extensively in wood production. In addition to being used as a model organism for raw material production in breeding programs all over the world, its natural populations and plantations are used extensively, especially in Europe, due to its environmental plasticity and contribution to biodiversity. The habitat of the species is decreasing day by day and the continuity of the species is threatened in parallel with the increase in human activities such as planting fields and establishing hydroelectric power plants on the riverbanks where they naturally spread. In this study, genetic identity was given to individuals in black poplar populations distributed in the Aras River with 16 microsatellite markers. A high level of expected and observed heterozygosity was found in the populations. It turned out that the populations sampled from the sections of the Aras River between Iğdır-Kars and Erzurum-Kars originated from two genetic groups. It has been observed that there is a low rate of genetic differentiation between these two genetic groups due to high gene flow. The genetic data obtained can be used in the development of in-situ/ex-situ conservation programs and breeding programs for black poplar populations distributed in the Aras River.</p></trans-abstract>

Tüm dünyada ıslah programlarında ham madde üretimi için model organizma olarak kullanılmasının yanı sıra çevresel plastisitesi ve biyoçeşitliliğe sağladığı katkı vasıtasıyla başta Avrupa olmak üzere tüm dünyada doğal popülasyonları ve plantasyonları yoğun bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Doğal olarak yayılış gösterdikleri nehir kıyılarında tarla açma ve hidroelektrik santrali kurma gibi insan faaliyetlerinin artmasına paralel olarak türün habitatı günden güne azalmakta ve türün devamlılığı tehdit edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Aras nehri boyunca yayılış gösteren kara kavak popülasyonlarındaki bireylere 16 mikrosatellit markör ile genetik kimlik verilmiştir. Popülasyonlar içerisinde yüksek oranda beklenen ve gözlenen heterozigotluk bulunmuştur. Aras nehrinin Iğdır-Kars ve Erzurum-Kars arasındaki kısımlarından örneklenen popülasyonların iki genetik gruptan köken aldığı açığa çıkarılmıştır. Bu iki genetik grup arasında yüksek oranda gen akışı sebebiyle düşük oranda genetik farklılaşma olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Elde edilen genetik veriler Aras nehri boyunca yayılış gösteren kara kavak popülasyonları için in-situ/ex-situ koruma programlarının geliştirilmesinin yanı sıra tür ile gerçekleştirilecek ıslah programlarında da kullanılabilir.</p></abstract>
