Pairwise linkage disequilibrium values (D) were estimated for 14 allozyme loci in two natural populations of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta ssp. latifolia). Maternal multilocus genotypes were inferred from samples of (haploid) megagametophytic seed-endosperms. Coupling/repulsion double heterozygotes were distinguished for closely linked pairs of loci. Assays of seven of the loci in seed embryos allowed estimates of D for these loci in the outcross pollen pool (estimates of outcrossing rates indicate no significant departures from random mating in either population). No disequilibrium was observed between unlinked loci in either maternal genotypes or outcross pollen. However, significant disequilibrium was observed within and between gametes for some allelic combinations of four tightly linked loci; the assumption of random association of gamete types within individuals is thus invalid for some loci in lodgepole pine. Possible causes of the observed D were examined using the noncentrality parameter of the general noncentral chi square distribution. We concluded, from estimates of population size, linkage and measurements of population substructure, that neither drift nor population subdivision was responsible for the significant values of D which were observed and that epistatic selection was the most likely cause of the disequilibrium observed.
