β¦ Synopsis
Nine microsatellite loci were found by screening a genomic DNA library of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) with the four oligonucleotide probes (TG), (CAC), (GATA) and (AT). Pairs of flanking primers were generated for seven microsatellites. Five primer pairs were used to screen up to 58 Sitka spruce clones. The five loci SStg3a, SStg4, SStg4a, SStg4c and SSgata3 were found to have 15, 13, 4, 3 and 6 different length alleles respectively, and in using a combination of them almost all 58 Sitka spruce genotypes could be identified. The five primer pairs were successful in amplifying DNA from two other spruce species (Picea aIbutilia and Picea smithiana), while only one primer pair could amplify DNA from the pine species, Pinus sylvestris and Pinus latifolia. The inheritance of microsatellites in Sitka spruce was co-dominant Mendelian.
