- Abstract:
- ... In the USA, forest genetics research began over 100 years ago and loblolly pine breeding programs were established in the 1950s. However, the genetics underlying complex traits of loblolly pine remains to be discovered. To address this, adaptive and growth traits were measured and analyzed in a clonally tested loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) population. Over 2.8 million single nucleotide polymorphi ...

- Abstract:
- ... European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is one of the most important forest tree species in Central Europe. Climate change scenarios predict an increase in annual mean temperatures that may cause earlier bud burst in spring, potentially leading to an increased late frost-risk. Despite the ecologic and economic importance of beech, knowledge about the molecular basis of bud burst is still scarce in thi ...

- Abstract:
- ... The northern Neotropical region is characterized by a heterogeneous geological and climatic history. Recent studies have shown contrasting patterns regarding the role of geographic elements as barriers that could have determined phylogeographic structure in various species. Recently, the phylogeography and biogeography of Quercus species have been studied intensively, and the patterns observed so ...

Rhododendron is universally known for its showy flower, and Rhododendron latoucheae Franch. is an adaptable and wide altitude range species of Rhododendron, with beautiful fragrant flowers and medicinal functions. However, genetic studies of Rhododendron have been hindered by limited genomic resources and genetic markers. In this study, a large dataset composed of 80,660 unigenes derived from the ...

Partial compatibility of the reciprocal crossings of these species was proved experimentally, validating the idea of a spontaneous formation of their hybrid swarms under natural conditions. The hybrids were validated using organellar DNA ...

Microsatellites are able to detect multiple alleles for particular loci and are therefore a useful tool to study genealogical relationships, population structures and genetic mapping. Ninety-six samples from 49 cultivars including three horticultural groups and hybrids were collected from t ...

Southern pine genetic improvement programs have selected for faster early growth which has often increased yields over unimproved material, and some of this improvement is likely attributable to variation in growth phenology among genotypes. However, the genetics of shoot growth phenology traits are not well characterized. Loblolly pine cuttings and seedlings from parents originating in the Atlant ...

However, there is still a lack of a detailed study of the genetic characteristics of pummelo population. In this study, genetic diversity and population structure among 274 pummelo accessions collected in C ...

Thus, in the current research, 16 microsatellite primer pairs (seven nuclear simple sequence repeats (nSSRs) and nine chloroplast simple sequence repeats (cpSSRs)) were used in an attempt to assess the genetic dive ...

Genotype by environment interaction (G×E) refers to the comparative performances of genotypes differing among environments, representing differences in genotype rankings or differences in the level of expression of genetic differences among environments. G×E can reduce heritability and overall genetic gain, unless breeding programmes are structured to address different categories of environments. ...

Among forest tree species, Tectona grandis, commonly known as Teak, is one of the important forest tree species. Limited water availability during early stage of Teak sapling establishment leads to failure in various reforestation programs. Here, we ...
