The applicability of genetic markers in seed production of conifers
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2014, Vol 124, Issue
Abstract
A comparative analysis on genetic variation of plants and their seed embryos was performed in natural populations and plantations of Pinus sylvestris, P. sylvestris var. cretacea, P. pallasiana and Abies alba using 10 polymorphic isozyme loci. This analysis has shown that the observed heterozygosity in embryos was 50.3 to 76.7 % of that of the mother plants. A significant excess of homozygotes was detected in seed embryos of the studied species. In populations there are plants, heterozygosity of which is close to heterozygosity of the embryos. These trees, characterized by high biometric parameters, are recommended to be used for forest seed plantations of the tree species.
