ABSTRACT
Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst.) is a most important species among European forest trees for both economical and ecological reasons. However, this species has suffered from a lack of information on the genetic side due to the scarcity of linkage data. In this study we have used a population of 72 megagametophytes from a single tree in a natural Italian stand to produce a genetic linkage map by means of RAPD markers. Ninety-six random decamers used as primers yielded 185 polymorphic loci showing Mendelian inheritance. Analysis of the segregation by multipoint analysis allowed us to define 17 major linkage groups covering a total distance of 3584 cM, with an average spacing between markers of 22 cM. Possible uses of a genetic linkage map with respect to population ecology and genetics are discussed.
