“…Genetic seperation of alpine/mountainous and lowland ecotypes growing in low and highland environments were recently reported in Czech populations [127]. Similarly, autochthonous mountainous spruce stands and allochthonous stands in the Vosges Mountains were distinguishable based on RAPD markers [128]. Such differentiation was not detected in our study.…”

High elevation sites in the low mountain ranges in Germany are naturally covered by Norway spruce (Picea abies (Karst.) L.) stands. Historically, large scale anthropogenic range expansion starting in the mid to late 18th century had a huge impact on the forest composition throughout Germany. Utilisation and exploitation often led to artificial regeneration, mostly carried out using seeds from allochthonous provenances. Usually, autochthonous (natural) high elevation Norway spruce trees have narrow crown phenotypes, whereas lowland trees have broader crowns. Narrow crown phenotypes are likely the result of adaptation to heavy snow loads combined with high wind speeds. In the present study, neighbouring stand pairs of putative autochthonous and allochthonous origin with contrasting phenotypes in high elevation sites were investigated with 200 samples each. These stands are located in the Ore Mountains, the Thuringian Forest, and the Harz Mountains. Additionally, a relict population with the typical narrow high elevation phenotypes was sampled in Thuringia, known as “Schlossbergfichte”. The objective of the study was to quantify supposedly adaptive phenotypic differences in crown architecture and the genetic differentiation of 11 putatively neutral nuclear microsatellite markers (i.e., simple sequence repeats (nSSRs)). The high differentiation of morphological traits (PST = 0.952–0.989) between the neighbouring autochthonous and allochthonous stands of similar age contrasts with the very low neutral genetic differentiation (FST = 0.002–0.007; G″ST = 0.002–0.030), suggesting that directional selection at adaptive gene loci was involved in phenotypic differentiation. Comparing the regions, a small isolation by distance effect for the Harz Mountains was detected, suggesting landscape resistance restricting gene flow. Finally, the differentiation of the very old autochthonous (up to 250 years) stand “Schlossbergfichte” with typical high elevation phenotypes could cohere with the sampling of a relict genepool.

“…This resulted in a reduced number of genomic regions involved in differentiation and a partial erasing of the genetic signature of Pleistocene isolation of the Carpathian and Dinaric refuges. Long‐distance wind dispersal of pollen has certainly favoured such introgressions, but ancient and repeated anthropic actions have also been implicated (Ledig 1992; Jeandroz et al . 2004).…”

Diversity and differentiation among three populations representing the geographical domains commonly recognized within the natural distribution area of Picea abies were analysed by using a set of 292 AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism), SSR (single sequence repeat) and ESTP (expressed sequence tags polymorphism) markers. As usually observed in forest trees, results showed high within-population diversity (H(S) reaching 0.79) and low among-population differentiation (G(ST) approximately 2%). The genomic organization of differentiation was then investigated on the basis of a subsample of 150 AFLP, SSR and ESTP mapped markers. The number of the loci differentiating the Baltico-Nordic from the central European populations (25 loci) and, within the central European populations, the Alpine from the Hercyno-Carpathian populations (12 loci), were different. These 37 differentiated loci, with individual G(ST) values ranging from 0.008 to 0.20, were evenly distributed on all linkage groups and mostly followed the neutral expectations, suggesting genome-wide effects on differentiation. Nine of them however behave as 'outlier' loci indicating possible locus-specific selective effects. Contribution of ongoing evolutionary forces and historical effects to the geographical differentiation of the species are discussed.

“…Similarly, no difference in genetic diversity was found between natural and managed populations of Picea glauca and Pinus banksiana (Godt et al, 2001), Picea abies (Jeandroz et al, 2004), Cupressus sempervirens (Papageorgiou et al, 2005), Pinus sylvestris (Kosinska et al, 2007), and Pinus roxburghii (Gauli et al, 2009). Surprisingly, some studies have found similar or even higher levels of genetic diversity in seed orchards or plantations than in natural populations (Bergmann and Ruetz, 1991;Chaisurisri and El-Kassaby, 1994;El-Kassaby and Ritland, 1996;Wellman et al, 2003;İçgen et al, 2006;Stefenon et al, 2008), which potentially highlights the importance of seed source in cultivation.…”

“…RAPD-PCR is a quick and reliable marker method for producing data across the entire genome while requiring little plant material (Williams et al, 1990;Fritsch and Rieseberg, 1996). RAPD markers have been widely used to determine the genetic variation in natural or planted populations and also to compare natural populations with plantations (e.g., Li et al, 1999;Chen et al, 2003;Jeandroz et al, 2004;Kandemir et al, 2004;Li et al, 2005;İçgen et al, 2006;Lise et al, 2007). Individual genomic DNA was extracted from 20 mg of silica gel-dried leaf tissue following the protocol described by QIAGEN (2000; DNeasy Plant Mini Kit).…”

“…In common cypress, planted populations also showed more genetic differentiation among them (Ф st = 0.033 vs. 0). The very low or even absent genetic differentiation among natural populations indicates an efficient gene flow via pollen among populations, resulting in homogenization in the genetic structure of nearby populations (Díaz et al, 2001;Jeandroz et al, 2004).…”
