A cyclophilin gene marker confirming geographical differentiation of Norway spruce populations and indicating viability response on excess soil-born salinity.

Abstract excerpt

A newly identified cyclophilin-encoding cDNA clone was used to design a codominant inherited EST-PCR marker in Norway spruce. The study of the current minor polymorphism revealed a geographically structured differentiation pattern across 17 test populations, showing a slight clinal variation south-north through Europe. Based on the frequency of alleles, isolation-by-distance analysis and the Ewens-Watterson test,...
