“…The transfer function approach, which was used in our study, relates the growth of a provenance to the geographical or climatic distance to the experimental site conditions (represented e.g. by Schmidtling et al 1994;Persson, Persson 1997;Rehfeldt et al 2003;Beaulieu, Raiville 2005) and compares the productivity of this transferred provenance to the productivity of a local or other provenance. The second approach describes the growth of a provenance as a function of climate at the test sites.…”

ABSTRACT:Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) provenances from Central Europe (Hercynian-Sudetes area) were evaluated in a long-term experimental project (Germany-Czech Republic) 36 years after the outplanting. The growth characteristics, mortality and qualitative morphological characteristics of 64 spruce provenances were evaluated on the experimental plot Ledeč-Zaháj, in the Czech-Moravian Highland region of the Czech Republic, in typical conditions for Norway spruce cultivation. Results show 15-20% differences in height and radial growth between provenances and insignificant differences in qualitative characteristics e.g. stem shape, branch density and shape and also health state. Environmental variables that significantly influenced production characteristics include longitude, latitude and altitude of the original locations of the provenances, while average annual temperature and average annual precipitation were not significant. Given conditions of the experimental plot, optimal production occurred with those provenances originally from 49-51 N latitude and 13-20 E longitude.

“…Plant growth per se is an important adaptive trait, as it is a key determinant of competitiveness, but may also have negative functional correlations with production of defense chemicals (Herms and Mattson 1992; but see Lerdau et al 1994), flowering (Geber 1990), and tolerance of environmental extremes (Ma 1987;Rehfeldt 1992;Schmidtling 1994). If these models are correct, plant growth should be controlled by many genes with individually small effects, and any QTLs large enough to be detected should be associated with component traits.…”

Two key characteristics of the neo-Darwinian synthesis in evolutionary biology have been its emphasis on the importance of mutations of small effect (micromutationism) and the view that studies of individual gene function shed relatively little light on evolutionary processes. Recent advances in molecular biology, however, have broken down many of the barriers between functional and evolutionary inquiry, opening the door to detailed studies of the genetic basis of functional trait evolution in plants. In this article, we review the insights into plant evolution that have been provided by molecular methods and address future research needs. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in crop and model plants has shown that individual loci often have large effects on trait variation, at variance with the micromutationist perspective. Evidence so far indicates that QTLs with large effects are also important in wild populations, underlying interspecific differences as well as intraspecific variation. Isolation of some of these QTLs, in particular for flowering time variation, has revealed a prominent role for regulatory genes known to function in regulation of flowering and exposed the complexity of regulatory processes. Preliminary evidence indicates that plant growth variation may be directly regulated rather than primarily the indirect result of selection on constituent processes. Future research should expand the number of traits that are intensively studied and make greater use of QTL mapping in wild plant taxa, especially those undergoing adaptive radiations, while continuing to draw on insights from model plants. Promising techniques include testing of candidate gene-trait associations in wild populations, genetic mapping in hybrid zones, and microarray analyses of gene expression.

This paper presents the results of survival in progeny tests in the Republic of Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Four progeny tests of Norway spruce on sites: Drinić, Derventa, Nevesine and Srebrenica were established on the territory of the Republic of Srpska in 2009. These progeny tests consist of six populations: Han Pijesak 1 and 2, Foča, Potoci, Olovo and Kneževo. The total number of half-sib lines was 36.In this paper, the data collected during 2014 were analyzed and they refer to the survival of Norway spruce seedlings in the progeny test in Drinić. The data were processed in order to determine which populations and half-sib lines are best adapted to ecological conditions of Drinić area.The results indicate a significant variability of survival among the tested populations and half-sib lines. They also indicate a higher adaptability of population originating from geographically more distant provenances from progeny test, in comparison with closer populations. The results can be used for the purpose of transferring the spruce reproductive material from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Drinić area, as well as the sites which are characterized by similar ecological conditions.
