Key message This review highlights some of the discoveries and applications made possible
by “omics” technologies over the last 10 years and provides perspectives for pioneering …

Forest trees are long-lived organisms subject to repeated environmental constraints throughout
their long lifetimes. They have developed various mechanisms enabling them to cope …

Background The availability of a large expressed sequence tags (EST) resource and recent
advances in high-throughput genotyping technology have made it possible to develop …

Oaks are an important part of our natural and cultural heritage. Not only are they ubiquitous
in our most common landscapes 1 but they have also supplied human societies with …

Poplar is the first forest tree genome to be decoded. As an initial step to the comprehensive
analysis of poplar proteome, we described reference 2‐D‐maps for eight tissues/organs of …

The 1.5 Gbp/2C genome of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) has been sequenced. A strategy
was established for dealing with the challenges imposed by the sequencing of such a …

Latitudinal and elevational gradients provide valuable experimental settings for studies of
the potential impact of global warming on forest tree species. The availability of long‐term …

Maritime pine ( P inus pinaster A it.) is a widely distributed conifer species in S outhwestern
E urope and one of the most advanced models for conifer research. In the current work, …

Wood is one of our most important natural resources. Surprisingly, we know hardly anything
about the details of the process of wood formation. The aim of this work was to describe the …

Banana streak viruses (BSV) are currently the main viral constraint to Musa germplasm
movement, genetic improvement and mass propagation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop …
