Abstract

Readily identifiable phenotypes, such as cotyledonary chlorophyll deficiencies, whose genetic basis can be established, would be highly useful in forest genetics research as genetic markers. In the genus Pinus mutants with severe deficiencies, such as albinos, will die shortly after seed germination while those with less severe deficiencies will not. In either case, however, the symptoms appear in early stages of growth and hence these types of mutants are especially useful as gene markers.
