title: Three systems of molecular markers reveal genetic differences between varieties sabina and balkanensis in the Juniperus sabina L. range
abstract: Abstract Key message J. sabina var. balkanensis, that is of hybrid origin, and its maternal progenitor J. sabina var. sabina are genetically distinct with respect to cpDNA, SNP, and SilicoDArT loci. Mostly non-overlapping distributions of the sabina and balkanensis varieties are the result of their different climatic requirements. Context Juniperus sabina L. is present in the Eurasian mountains, but its range is severely fragmented. In Europe, two varieties of J. sabina occur: var. sabina and va
