Depending on the processes that need to be analysed, molecular markers may provide extremely useful information to monitor processes related to adaptation and migration. Markers must be carefully selected depending on the specific question. Some examples are provided and usefulness of molecular markers in conservation genetics of forest tree species is discussed. Direct analysis of adaptive variation is now possible by analysis of QTNs (Quatitative Trait Nucleotides): this requires that QTNs are known. A perspective on the possibilities for discovering genes involved in adaptive variation in forest trees is provided.Read More
