Asymmetrical distribution of a mitochondrial DNA polymorphism between 2 introgressing honey bee subspecies

Mitochondrial DNA from 62 samples of Apis mellifera carnica and A m ligustica collected from within areas of endemism and an area of known introgression was extracted and digested with the restriction enzymes AccI, BclI, BglII, EcoRI and XbaI. Digestion with XbaI revealed a polymorphism with an asym...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Mitochondrial DNA from 62 samples of Apis mellifera carnica and A m ligustica collected from within areas of endemism and an area of known introgression was extracted and digested with the restriction enzymes AccI, BclI, BglII, EcoRI and XbaI. Digestion with XbaI revealed a polymorphism with an asymmetrical distribution between the subspecies. This polymorphism occurs primarily in Austrian and Slovenian A m carnica and may be useful for studying introgression between this race and A m ligustica .
