Summary Despite the fact that forest trees are in early stages of domestication there has been little direct evaluation of either the origin of, or genetic diversity within the breeding material in tree improvement programs. Allozyme variation was used to compare the total genetic diversity in the breeding programs of P. radiata within Australia and the five wild populations in North America. The current breeding populations were very similar genetically and were essentially homogenous with only 1.8% of the variation among programs. The total genetic diversity in the species was 0.12, which is a low estimate compared to most conifers. Overall in the Australian material the genetic diversity was somewhat less. The comparison of allelic frequencies in the five native populations with the Australian material indicates that the Monterey and Año Nuevo populations were probably the major source of the original introductions and that a substantial portion of the genetic diversity in the two populations has been captured in current breeding programs. The three southern populations do not appear to be currently represented in the breeding programs. The implications for future breeding strategies are discussed.
