Genetic differences of various populations of Picea abies (L.) Karst.) have been studied basing on 20 allozyme loci variability. Two populations located in Ukrainian Carpathians (1000–1500 m above sea level) and one plain, island, and scanty population of Polesґye were compared. Despite their different high-altitude location, geographical remoteness and population size the very low genetic differentiation (D_N = 0,003–0,005) was observed. Recombination variability analysis showed that populations from Carpathians in contrast to that one from Poles’ye had higher similarity level according to their diloci genotype structure.
