Definitions
- This invention is in the fields of molecular biology and tree improvement, and pulp and paper properties evaluations. This invention allows for an enhanced efficiency of selection for trees with given fibre properties from both natural and plantation populations for specific pulp and paper product lines.
- Probes based on nuclear sequences have also been used with varying success - for example, riboso al DNA (rDNA) regions of red and black spruce are known to exhibit intraspecies variation of some polymorphic regions which have been exploited to produce species- specific RAPD markers. By their nature, these markers are based on arbitrary sequences whose general applicability (i.e. across species) is difficult to determine (Bobola, M.S. et al.,(1992j Mol . Biol . Evol . 9:125-137), Perron, M. et al . , (1997) Molecular ecology 6:725-734) .
- the present invention describes a nucleic acid probe developed for interior / Sitka hybrids (in the Nass-Skeena introgression zone) which is capable of quantitatively estimating the degree of genetic hybridization between the two.
- This probe Eco2.0, is based on a stretch of yeast (Saccharo yces cerevisiae) 18S rDNA and detects species-specific 18S external transcribed spacer (ETS) polymorphisms in a quantitative fashion as determined by densitometric image analysis.
- One aim of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying individual trees having superior phenotype .

The reaction takes place in two stages. First, DNA single strands in the solution encounter one another by chance; if their sequences are complementary, the two strands base pair to generate a short double-helical region. Then- the region of base pairing extends along the molecule be a zipper-like effect to form a lengthy duplex molecule. Renaturation describes the reaction between two complementary sequences that were separated by denaturation. However, the technique can be extended to allow any two complementary nucleic acid sequences to anneal with each other to form a duplex structure.

- a particular embodiment of the invention is the determination of the precise degree of genetic admixing (or introgression) of the two parent species within the hybrid population. Due to the linear relationship - in the hybrid spruce population for example - between degree of genetic introgression and fibre length (with regard to the present invention) , the intensity of the DNA probe hybridization pattern is used to directly, accurately and reproducibly predict the fibre length found (for a given tree age) within an individual hybrid Sitka/Interior spruce within the population.

- One embodiment of the method invention described herein is related to DNA-based tests - for all wood quality parameters important for the desirability of wood for various solid wood and pulp and paper product applications - which enables acceleration of the process of assessment of natural populations and enables the early selection of elite lines for plantation establishment.
- the nucleic acid-based tests for difficult and expensive to measure traits provides a highly increased capability for cost reduction and product enhancement in selecting superior tree families.
- the cones of the hybrid species display characteristics of their parent species, but true species identification and degree of hybridization is difficult to determine by such gross methods .
- site quality average or typical sites for the species were
- biogeoclimatic ecosytem classification (BEC) method for site identification and analysis utilizes vegetation, soils, climate, and topography in classifying ecosystems and estimating site quality [Banner, A. et al . , (1993), A field guide to site identification and interpretation for the Prince Rupert forest region. B.C. Ministry of Forests, Victoria, B.C. Land management handbook No. 26) .
- Site series was determined from estimated soil moisture and soil nutrient regimes. This was then related to site productivity (SIBEC) by estimating site index.
- Site index - a measure of the productivity of the stand - provides a standardized comparison of the productive potential between sites and is also determined through the site index curve method, which is a measure of tree height at fifty years breast height age (How to determine site index in silviculture. Participants work book, B.C. Ministry of forests, Forest renewal B.C. (1998) ) .
- Spruce fibre properties were determined from the 10 mm increment core samples. At least one sample from each site was sectioned into age classes to monitor changes in fibre properties over time and to determine the juvenile/mature wood transition point for each of the species / hybrids studied. For all other samples only the 60-80 yr. age class was examined, as this was determined to be in the mature wood zone for each site.
- Fibres were released from the samples using a hydrogen peroxide / acetic acid maceration technique (Burkart, L.F. (1966) For. Prod. J. 16:52) and the resultant pulps were analyzed using an automated Fibre Quality Analyzer instrument to determine length weighted fibre lengths (LWFL) and fibre coarsenesses according to previously described protocols [Morrison, D. et al . , (1998)Paprican PPR 1403).
- Genomic DNA from hybrids and pure Sitka and interior spruce was obtained using a FastPrep instrument (Bio 101 Inc.) according to the manufacturers standard protocols.
- the Eco2.0 rDNA probe-containing plasmid (pEco2.0 - obtained courtesy of CH. Newton, B.C. Research Inc., Vancouver) was isolated, purified and cloned into E. coli according to methods described in Sambrook et al . (Sambrook, J. et al., (1990) Molecular Cloning. A laboratory manual, 2 nd edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press) . Restriction Digests
- Both spruce genomic DNA samples and pEco2.0 were each digested with the appropriate restriction enzymes (HinD III and Eco R I respectively) according to the method of Hanish and McClelland (Hanish, J. et al . , (1988) Gene Anal . Tech . 5:105).
- Approximately 25 ng of DNA was incubated at 37°C in KGB buffer (1 M potassium glutamate, 250 mM Tris acetate pH 7.5, 100 mM magnesium acetate, 0.5 mg/ml BSA fraction 5, 5 mM ⁇ - mercaptoethanol) with 1 U of restriction enzyme for 2 hr and the reaction stopped with 0.5 M EDTA.
- Digests were analyzed on 1% agarose gels according to the method described in Sambrook et al . , (1990) . • Polymerase Chain Reaction
- Terminal sequencing of the pEco2.0 plasmid was performed according to standard dideoxy-nucleotide termination protocols by the Nucleic Acid and Protein Services of the Biotechnology Laboratory at University of British Columbia. Since pEco2.0 is based on the pUC 18 vector, standard M13 forward and reverse primers were used for sequence priming.
- Fig. 3A shows a schematic of the pUC 18 - based plasmid pEco2.0 and the insertion point of the probe into the multiple cloning site (MCS) .
- MCS multiple cloning site
- FIG. 3C shows a PCR amplification experiment using the pEco2.0 plasmid as template and M13 forward and reverse primers.
- Fig. 4 presents a fragment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome XII cosmid reading frame ORF YLR154C taken from genbank acc# Z73326. The complete sequence of the Eco2.0 probe is highlighted in bold face.
- Fig. 5 shows sequence analysis results for the pEco2.0 plasmid obtained using M13 forward and reverse primer . Characterization of Sitka / Interior Spruce rDNA Polymorphisms
- the pEco2.0 rDNA probe detects a polymorphic ' region of spruce DNA which . is quite distinct in interior and Sitka species.
- the interior sample gives five bands of varying intensity after hybridization with the probe, whereas the Sitka sample gives only three.
- Bands 4 and 5 which are diagnostic of Sitka spruce, can be used in conjunction with chloroplast and mitochondrion - specific DNA markers to unambiguously differentiate between the species.
- Bands 1, 2 and 3 however are common to both species but are present in different relative intensities (Fig. 6) . Densitometry of Band 2 was then used to estimate degrees of introgression exhibited by the hybrid trees sampled across the zone.
- Lane 2 contains genomic DNA isolated from a tree identified morphologically as a Black spruce sample obtained from a site at Nass-Skeena. This DNA, when tested with the pEco2.0 probe, gives a pattern of bands identical to that seen for interior spruce samples from B.C., suggesting that the probe may potentially also be able to distinguish hybrids of other spruce species.
- Fibre length 60 - 80 yr is plotted as a function of site index in Fig. 13. It is evident that there is no correlation between site productivity and fibre length across biogeoclimatic zones, indicating that the genetic differences between these hybrids mask any significant macroenvironmental effect.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un nouveau procédé permettant la prédiction de la longueur de fibre et la sélection rapide d'arbres supérieurs pour des lignes données de produits de pulpe et de papier grâce à une sonde ADN. Le procédé comprend l'isolation d'ADN génomique d'arbres à partir d'une source de tissu vivant d'une épinette hybride, l'hybridation de la sonde ADN de l'épinette avec cet ADN génomique et l'évaluation densitométrique de l'intensité du modèle d'hybridation obtenu. On détermine ainsi le degré précis de mélange génétique (ou d'introgression) des deux espèces parentes au sein de la population hybride. Grâce à la relation linéaire (découverte dans ce procédé) - dans la population d'épinettes hybrides examinées - entre le degré d'introgression génétique et la longueur de fibre, l'intensité du modèle d'hybridation de la sonde ADN peut être utilisée afin de prédire de manière directe, précise et reproductible la longueur de fibre trouvée (pour un âge donné de l'arbre) pour une épinette hybride individuelle au sein de la population.
