Abstract :
[en] Black cherry (Prunus serotina) is a tree from North America, where it is often used for economical purposes, whereas it is widespread and invasive in Europe. Plastid DNA variation was first investigated in both its native and invasive ranges using microsatellite loci and sequences of three intergenic spacers (trnT-trnL, trnD-trnT and trnS-trnG). This analysis was focused on P. serotina var. serotina, with the inclusion of samples of closely related taxa. Length variation at a microsatellite locus (ccmp5) and a few sequence polymorphisms were identified among P. serotina samples. Four new primer pairs were then designed to specifically amplify variable regions and a combination of five markers was finally proposed for phylogeographic studies in P. serotina. These loci allow identification of six chlorotypes in P. serotina var. serotina, which may be particularly useful to depict the maternal origins of European invasive populations. © Springer-Verlag 2009.

Funding text :
Acknowledgments This research was funded by the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Plant Survival, research program of the Swiss National Science Foundation. M. Pairon and A.L. Jacquemart were supported by the Fonds Spéciaux de Recherche (FSR) of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) and the Belgian ScientiWc Policy (BelSPo-InPlanBel). M. Pairon is research fellow of the Belgian National Fund of ScientiWc Research and A.L. Jacquemart is research associate in the same institution. Collection of the samples was partly funded by grants to K.O. Reinhart from Highlands Biological Station and from the A.W. Mellon Foundation helping form a partnership between the National Park Service, the Ecological Society of America and the National Park Foundation. We are grateful for the kind collaboration of many foresters and scientists who helped collecting leaves of P. serotina and P. virginiana: P.J. Alexander and D. Bailey (New Mexico State University), M. Campbell (Pennsylvania State University), F. Caronni and L. Hildebrand (Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino), G. Decocq (University of Picardie), R.B. Kaul and D.M. Sutherland (University of Nebraska), R.A. Klips (Ohio State University), P. Jenkins and J. Tedford (University of Arizona), D.A. Lewis (Iowa State University), N.P. Revsbech (University of Aarhus). We also thank D. Potter and an anonymous reviewer for their constructive comments.
