Four cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers for the detection of the <i>Juglans ailantifolia</i> chloroplast in putatively native <i>J. cinerea</i> populations

Abstract excerpt

Hybridization between butternut (Juglans cinerea), a forest tree native to eastern North America, and Japanese walnut (J. ailantifolia), a tree tolerant to the lethal fungal disease butternut canker, casts doubt on the genetic identity of the remaining butternuts. We report a diagnostic test to distinguish the J. cinerea chloroplast from the J. ailantifolia chloroplast using cleaved amplified polymorphic...
