Application of selected molecular markers in studies on forest trees

Abstract

The paper describes a number of molecular methods used in the past and now to analyze forest tree species. Taking into account the economic importance of forest trees and in view of the timber economy, wood properties and characteristics are essential factors subjected to control, observation and research. Molecular techniques that support traditional selection methods allow for genetic diversity analyses considering a range of research aspects. The development of these techniques at the turn of the last two decades has enabled wide-ranging use of molecular data in studies on forest tree populations. On the example of pine (Pinus L.), the paper presents data based on molecular studies as well as a variety of possibilities to apply the obtained results.

Issr-Based Population Genetics Study for Tagging a Diverse Population of Shisham (Dalbergia Sissoo) in Pakistan

“…Evolutionary processes are the fundamental forces, which bring heterogeneity, existed in trees population. For exploring the forest biodiversity, their genetic study using molecular markers is of great impact (Tereba et al, 2017). Molecular markers have been employing to evaluate the genetic diversity based on allelic frequency present between and among the tree species (Zaya et al, 2017).…”
