Abstract:Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is the most widespread coniferous tree in the boreal forests of Eurasia and has major economic and ecological importance. However, its large and repetitive genome presents a challenge for conducting genome-wide analyses such as association studies and genomic selection. We present a new 50K SNP genotyping array for Scots pine research, breeding programs, and other applications. To select the SNP set, we first genotyped 480 Scots pine samples on a 407 540 SNP screening array, and i… Show more
