Abstract

Molecular markers have been used in several walnut species to help reconstruct breeding program pedigrees, to characterize genetic structure in natural Juglans populations, to determine the impact of different timber harvest scenarios on residual levels of genetic diversity, and to quantify the effects of interspecific hybridization on subsequent reproduction success. Pijut et al. (2007) reviewed technological applications of molecular markers used on several temperate hardwood tree species. Modern genomics-based tools are currently being used in several black walnut (J. nigra) studies.
