摘要
Forest genetic maps are an important component within the forest biologist’s toolkit, underpinning forest improvement programs.The estimation of forest genetic maps is a conceptually simple yet computationally complex problem,due to long growth period and high heterozygosis and genetic load of forest trees.At present,some genetic maps of trees have been constructed.This paper reviewed the process of forest genetic map construction,highlighting its uniqueness,and pointed out the problems that might rise in mapping.Finally, prospect was made for constructing the high density genetic map of trees.
