The study investigates the genetic variability, genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of the beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Slovenia. On the basis of isozyme analysis, 13 indigenous beech populations were examined. Polymorphism was revealed in 11 isozyme loci, 9 loci show polymorphism in all treated populations. The trend of slight north-south increase of genetic variability is present, while mean observed heterozygosity Ho decreases in the north-south direction. Genetic differentiation is relatively weak and we revealed no geographically conditioned differentiation among the populations.
