Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity in allopatric populations of black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] BSP) and red spruce (P. rubens Sarg.). Patterns of mitochondrial haplotypes (mitotypes) were strikingly different between the two species. All mtDNA markers surveyed were polymorphic in black spruce, revealing four different mitotypes and high levels of mtDNA diversity (P-P = 100%, A = 2.0, H = 0.496). In contrast, populations of red spruce had only two mitotypes and harbored low levels of ggenetic diversity (P-P = 13.2%, A = 1.1, H = 0.120). When the southernmost allopatric populations of red spruce were considered, only one mitotype was detected. As previously reported for nuclear gene loci, the diversity observed for mtDNA in red spruce was a subset of that found in black spruce. Comparison of present and previously published data supports the hypothesis of a recent progenitor-derivative relationship between these species, red spruce presumably being derived by allopatric speciation of an isolated population of black spruce during the Pleistocene.
