N, sample size of each cluster, H _O and H _E, observed and expected heterozygosities, F _IS, inbreeding coefficient, A _R, mean allelic richness across loci, corrected by the rarefaction method.

^aFor Malus sieversii, five sites (Ch pop1, Kaz Kokbu, Kaz Kotyr, Uzbe, Kaz Almat) with N < 6 were excluded from these analyses. 0.05 < P ≤ 0.01.

^bFor Malus orientalis, 14 sites (KhosrovReserve 2, 3, 3bis, 3ter, 4, 7, 8, 9, unidentified, Arm unknown, Kaz Kokbu, Turkey, Russia, Shikahogh2) with N < 6 were excluded from the analyses. P < 0.001.
