Inheritance pattern of five monoterpenes in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)

A genetic analysis of differences in the content of beta -phellandrene, beta -pinene, myrcene, limonene and 3-carene in cortical oleoresin of Pinus sylvestris is presented. The quantities of five monoterpenes in many clones and some crosses between these clones fall into distinct classes. The levels...

Description
Summary:A genetic analysis of differences in the content of beta -phellandrene, beta -pinene, myrcene, limonene and 3-carene in cortical oleoresin of Pinus sylvestris is presented. The quantities of five monoterpenes in many clones and some crosses between these clones fall into distinct classes. The levels of the five monoterpenes beta -phellandrene, beta -pinene, myrcene, limonene and 3-carene in offspring of several crosses show segregation patterns which are generally compatible with simple Mendelian inheritance, even if complicating factors sometimes occur. The simple mode of inheritance in the level of several monoterpenes as indicated here emphasizes the suitability of these metabolites as a marker for clone identification and for the study of the population genetic structure in Pinus sylvestris L.
