DNA Markers Reveal Genetic Associations among 11,000-Year-Old Scots Pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.) Found in the Baltic Sea with the Present-Day Gene Pools in Lithuania

We aimed to extract DNA and amplify PCR fragments at the mitochondrial DNA Nad7.1 locus and 11 nuclear microsatellite loci in nine circa 11,000-year-old individuals of Scots pine found at the bottom of the Baltic sea and test the genetic associations with the present-day gene pool of Scots pine in L...
