On the basis of analysis of 7 allozymous loci of Picea abies maternal plants and their seed embryos, it is determined
that genetic diversity of two populations of various height maintaines in their seed progenies. Insignificant genetic
differentiation between tree samples and seed embryos of both populations is found. Genetic differentiation
between maternal plants and seed embryos within every population was totally low. Height-altitude and low-laying
Picea abies populations in the Ukrainian Carpathians have similar genetic structure and peculiarities of its inheriting
despite difference in height of the populations.
