The chloroplast genome has been widely addressed to describe genetic diversity in tree species with regard to phylogeographic studies. In contrast, there is little information on the pattern of genetic differentiation in tolerant and sensitive tree populations, responding to different types of environmental stress. The results demonstrate that chloroplast microsatellites markers are useful tools for elucidating and for testing the pattern of genetic differentiation in stress-exposed populations of Norway spruce, offering to prove the feasibility of marker-aided selection in future

Phenotypical differentiation between and within populations was observed. During the last decade, vitality decreased for both species in the observation plots in accordance with the general trend in Germany. Differences between the species were detected for single symptomatic traits like bark necroses. The genetic analyses with isozyme markers as well as cpDNA haplotypes resulted in remarkable differences between species
