Abstract: ► Genetic variation patterns of pines exposed to high radiation were investigated. ► Pines with or without phenotypic stress symptoms were compared to control trees. ► AFLP markers were used to reveal evidences of selection processes. ► 15 of 222 loci are identified as candidates for selective responses. ► Moderate differentiation is observed between irradiated and control trees.
