Abstract International timber trade communities are increasingly demanding that timber in the wood supply chain be sourced from sustainably harvested forests and certified plantations. This is to combat illegal logging activities to prevent further depletion of our precious forests worldwide. Hence, timber tracking tools are important to support law enforcement officials in ensuring only sustainably harvested timbers are traded in the market. In this study, we developed chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) databases as tracking tools for an important tropical timber tree species, Shorea leprosula from Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 1410 individual trees were sampled from 44 natural populations throughout Peninsular Malaysia. Four cpDNA regions were used to generate a cpDNA haplotype database, resulting in a haplotype map comprising 22 unique haplotypes derived from 28 informative intraspecific variable sites. This cpDNA database can be used to trace the origin of an unknown log at the regional level. Ten SSR loci were used to develop the SSR allele frequency database. Bayesian cluster analysis divided the 44 populations into two genetic clusters corresponding to Region A and Region B. Based on conservativeness evaluation of the SSR databases for individual identification, the coancestry coefficients (θ) were adjusted to 0.1900 and 0.1500 for Region A and B, respectively. These databases are useful tools to complement existing timber tracking systems in ensuring only legally sourced timbers are allowed to enter the wood supply chain. |
