Summary: | Maritime pine seed-lots from north-western Iberian regions (Portugal and Galicia) were introduced in the 1950s to the south-west of France (Aquitaine region), and the stands they formed suffered considerable frost damage. In the mid 1980s, a biochemical test was developed to test the putative origin of adult stands in Aquitaine, before seeds could be distributed for commercial purposes in France. In this paper, we describe a new test employing chloroplast simple-sequence repeats (cpSSRs) to facilitate identification of stand origin based on randomisation tests. The origin of five stands of unknown origin was determined with both the cpSSR and biochemical (terpene profile analysis) tests. The results from the two tests were concordant, but the DNA-based test gave faster and more accurate results. Use of this test should help when determining the origin of maritime pine stands in the Aquitaine region of France.
Des lots de graines du nord ouest de la péninsule ibérique (Portugal et Galice) ont été introduits dans les années 1950 dans le sud-ouest de la France (Aquitaine), et les peuplements issus de ces graines ont fortement souffert des gelées. Un test variétal basé sur les marqueurs terpéniques fut développé dans les années 1980 afin d'identifier l'origine géographique des peuplements adultes en Aquitaine sur lesquels des graines étaient récoltées puis commercialisées. Dans cet article nous décrivons un nouveau test qui utilise des marqueurs microsatellites chloroplastiques (cpSSRs) et simulations pour identifier l'origine des peuplements. Une étude comparative des tests biochimique (terpènes) et cpSSR a été menée sur cinq peuplements adultes. Les résultats obtenus sont identiques, mais le test ADN s'est avéré plus rapide et plus précis. L'utilisation de ce nouveau test devrait permettre de garantir l'origine géographique des peuplements de pin maritime du sud-ouest de la France (Aquitaine). |
