“…According to the reports, the suppression of xylem-phloem transport and a decrease in the rate of plant growth occur in parallel with an increasing deficit of heat, moisture, or mineral nutrition. Recently, an ecological and genetic hypothesis has been proposed, according to which the origin of the Karelian birch is associated both with the natural and climatic conditions of its growth and with genetic factors 38,39 .…”

Curly (Karelian) birch is a special variety ofBetula penduladistributed in the northwestern part of Europe. Karelian birch is well-known for its valuable figured curly wood also known as “wooden marble”. The genetic basis underlying curly wood formation has been debated since last century, however, there was no data about loci responsible for the curly wood trait. In the present study, we analyzed two full-sibs populations derived from experimental crosses of curly birches and segregating for the trait. RADseq genotyping was applied to reveal how many loci are involved in ‘curliness’ formation and to search for genetic variants associated with this trait. One single interval on chromosome 10 was detected containing possible candidate genes. InDel marker BpCW1 was suggested for the first time for marker-assisted selection of trees with curly wood at their earliest stages of development.
