The newly developed EST marker for cyclophilin in Norway spruce is reported in present study. Sequencing of two alleles observed during segregation analysis, identified the position of an insertion within 3`non-coding region. The marker for cyclophilin, as well as other three from five additionally analysed EST markers, revealed statistically signifficant patterns of geographical differentiation between 19 populations of Picea abies, showing a slight clinal variation south-north through Europe. The observed genetic structure is suggested to be related to selectively neutral random drift mutations occurred during the time of postglacial recolonisation of Norway spruce in Europe.
