This paper presents the results of survival in progeny tests in the Republic of Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina).Four progeny tests of Norway spruce on sites: Drinić, Derventa, Nevesine and Srebrenica wereestablished on the territory of the Republic of Srpska in 2009. These progeny tests consist of six populations:Han Pijesak 1 and 2, Foča, Potoci, Olovo and Kneževo. The total number of half-sib lines was 36.In this paper, the data collected during 2014 were analyzed and they refer to the survival of Norwayspruce seedlings in the progeny test in Drinić. The data were processed in order to determine whichpopulations and half-sib lines are best adapted to ecological conditions of Drinić area.The results indicate a significant variability of survival among the tested populations and half-sib lines.They also indicate a higher adaptability of population originating from geographically more distantprovenances from progeny test, in comparison with closer populations. The results can be used for thepurpose of transferring the spruce reproductive material from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Drinić area,as well as the sites which are characterized by similar ecological conditions.

The paper presents the results of an analysis of morphometric characteristics of Norway spruce seedlings in the progeny tests in Bosnia and Herzegovina, localities: Drinic and Srebrenica. Progeny tests were established by using seedlings originating from six natural populations from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Seedling height, root collar and whorl distance from the ground, which represents seedling heights in 2011, 2012 and 2013 were measured. The results indicate statistically significant differences between the analyzed characteristics of the observed population. Especially interesting are the populations Potoci and Olovo, which showed the highest growth during the observed period in both progeny tests. The impact of the drought in 2013 can be seen in the progeny test in Srebrenica where height growth in 2013 was lower by more than 50% in comparison to 2012. The impact of drought in the progeny test in Drinic was not observed. The research provides the baseline when selecting the starting population, where the rapid growth of seedlings is set as the main goal.

Norway spruce is one of the most important economic species is Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the species at the edge of its natural range; nevertheless it attains significant growth and yield results. The species is often used for afforestation purposes. In the previous period, 4 progeny tests of Norway spruce were established in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The offspring from 6 natural populations: Han Pijesak 1, Han Pijesak 2, Foca, Potoci, Olovo and Knezevo were build-in the progeny tests. In 2016, the samples of Norway spruce from 2 progeny tests: Srebrenica and Drinic were collected. In total, 360 samples were collected. DNA isolation was done according to Dumoline et al. (1990). For assessment of genetic differences among populations, co-dominant nSSR microsatellite system had been used. The number of effective alleles ranged from 7.78 in the population Potoci up to 15 in the population Knezevo, the average number of alleles was 13. The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.61 for the population Han Pijesak 2 up to 0.68 for population Knezevo. The average observed heterozygosity was 0.65. Fixation index was in the range from -0.073 in the population Potoci, to 0.030 for the population Han Pijesak 2. The average value of Wright fixation index is -0.007. The average fixation index indicates the existence of a very small number of homozygotes. Concerning the variability among populations it has been concluded that the total level of genetic differentiation among populations was very low (FST= 0.026). The result of Nei?s genetic distance shows that the populations Olovo and Potoci are separated from other populations. The results obtained by genetic markers, in addition with other, morphological and physiological markers will be the basis for the further investigation of Norway spruce adaptability and possibility for the transfer of genetic material in light of climate changes.
