Ongoing climatic change is threatening the survival of drought-sensitive tree species, such
as silver fir (Abies alba). Drought-induced dieback had been previously explored in this …

To exploit ecogeographical niches of the temperate zone, trees and other perennial plant
species optimize the timing of floral and vegetative bud break within the dynamic nature of …

Populus species are currently being domesticated through intensive time-and resource-
dependent programs for utilization in phytoremediation, wood and paper products, and …

Background Plants, fungi, and bacteria form complex, mutually-beneficial communities
within the soil environment. In return for photosynthetically derived sugars in the form of …

Studies of genetic variation can clarify the role of geography and spatio-temporal variation of
climate in shaping demography, particularly in temperate zone tree species with large …

Although numerous linkage maps have been constructed in the genus Populus, they are
typically sparse and thus have limited applications due to low throughput of traditional …

Biological organisms are complex systems that are composed of functional networks of
interacting molecules and macro-molecules. Complex phenotypes are the result of …

Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) is a valuable commodity in the international trade due to
its use in fragrance and essential oil industries. In the present study, a draft genome of S …

Forest health issues are on the rise in the United States, resulting from introduction of alien
pests and diseases, coupled with abiotic stresses related to climate change. Increasingly …

Abstract A 'genes‐to‐ecosystems' approach has been proposed as a novel avenue for
integrating the consequences of intraspecific genetic variation with the underlying genetic …
