Abstract :Genetic diversity in natural stands of autochthonous blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa L.) of different German provenances has been analyzed using a highly reproducible high-annealing-temperature random amplified polymorphic DNA (HAT-RAPD) protocol. The findings were compared to those from seedstocks of the same provenances, reported earlier. Generally, genetic diversity in the natural stands was even lower (H o 0.099–0.116) compared to the corresponding seedstocks (H o 0.118–0.133). Furthermore, genetic differentiation was found to be moderate between natural residential sources (pairwise F st 0.138–0.184, 22.527% variation among populations), but higher than between the seedstocks (pairwise F st 0.086-0.104, 7.782% variation among populations). The findings are discussed in respect to German conservation law and its practical implementation.Keywords : Prunus spinosa, autochthonous, RAPD, genetic diversity, differentiation
