Description
Summary:Analysis of the mtDNA locus is a widely used tool to establish belonging to a particular evolutionary lineage of L. (lineages A, M, C, O, and Y). In Russia, most of the area was once inhabited by from the M evolutionary lineage, but the introduction of bee subspecies from the southern regions of Russia ( , ) and from abroad ( , ) led to fragmentation of their native range. In this study, the results of assessing the haplotype number for the locus of mtDNA in Russian populations were presented. We analyzed 269 colonies from 19 regions of Russia. As a result, two evolutionary lineages were identified: the East European lineage C (26.4%) and the Northwestern European lineage M (73.6%). A total of 29 haplotypes were identified, 8 of them were already reported, and 21 were found to be novel. From the C lineage, haplotypes C1, C2, C2c, C2j, and C3 were predominant. All M lineage samples from Russia belong to the M17 and M4' haplogroups but have only minor variations in the form of nucleotide substitutions. An analysis of publications devoted to the locus haplotypes, as well as an analysis of the available sequences in GenBank, showed that there is still a problem with the haplotype nomenclature.
