The current distribution of forest genetic resources on Earth is the result of a combination of
natural processes and human actions. Over time, tree populations have become adapted to …

… However, this outcome was not observed in a three-generation study of Pseudotsuga
menziesii (El-Kassaby, personal communication). Model updating strategies will therefore be …

of methods. In Biochemical Markers in the Population Genetics of Forest Trees; Fineschi…

P opulus trichocarpa is widespread across western North America spanning extensive
variation in photoperiod, growing season and climate. We investigated trait variation in P . …

Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are usually regarded as the “markers of
choice” in population genetics research because they exhibit high variability. The …

In order to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic trait variation, we used 448 unrelated
wild accessions of black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) from much of its range in western …

• Plant population genomics informs evolutionary biology, breeding, conservation and
bioenergy feedstock development. For example, the detection of reliable phenotype–genotype …

Establishing links between phenotypes and molecular variants is of central importance to
accelerate genetic improvement of economically important plant species. Our work represents …

Slope aspect plays a critical role in influencing vegetation pattern in semiarid area. The dry
valleys of the Hengduan Mountains Region, southwestern China, are striking geographical …
