Effective pollen dispersal D Prat Laboratoire INRA-ENGREF de sciences forestières, 14, Girardet, 54042 France Nancy cedex, rue (Received 15 February 1994; accepted 4 July 1994) Summary — Genetic variation of effective pollen received by individual ramets in a Douglas fir clonal seed orchard was not representative of the genetic variation of this clonal seed orchard. This deviation was not due to selfing rate. Effective pollen dispersal might be responsible for this deviation. It was then assessed around 3 individual ramets by comparing genotypes of effective pollen with those of pollinator and surrounding trees located in a circle or in an ellipse focused on the receptor tree. The best prediction of genetic diversity of effective pollen was obtained considering a maximum pollination distance of about 20-30 m and an elliptical pollen dispersal. Effective pollen dispersal took place preferentially along rows of trees and probably depended on the wind. As the flowering period was short and particularly synchronous in the year of seed collection, reproductive phenology probably did not favour some peculiar crosses. Matings between a few neighbour trees was probably the major cause of the homozy- gosity level in seed crop. isozyme / mating system / pollen dispersal / Pseudotsuga menziesii= Douglas fir / surrounding trees Résumé — Régime de reproduction dans un verger à graines de Douglas (Pseudotsuga men- ziesii (Mirb) Franco. II. Dispersion du pollen. La diversité génétique du pollen reçu par des ramets individuels d’un verger clonal à graines de Douglas n’était pas représentative de la diversité géné- tique de ce verger. Ceci ne résultait pas du taux d’autofécondation, comme l’ont montré des études anté- rieures. Une dispersion réduite du pollen pouvait en être la cause. Aussi, la dissémination du pollen a été étudiée autour de 3 ramets particuliers en comparant la diversité génétique du pollen efficace qu’ils ont reçu à la diversité génétique des arbres proches situés dans un cercle ou une ellipse. La meilleure prédiction de la composition du nuage pollinique efficace a été obtenue en considérant les arbres pollinisateurs situés à une distance maximale de 20-30 m et en pondérant leurs flux polli- niques à l’aide d’un modèle de dispersion du pollen en ellipse.
