Evergreen conifers are champions of winter survival, based on their remarkable ability to
acclimate to cold and develop cold hardiness. Counterintuitively, autumn cold acclimation is …

Studying the genetics of adaptation to new environments in ecologically and industrially
important tree species is currently a major research line in the fields of plant science and …

Forest tree breeding has been successful at delivering genetically improved material for
multiple traits based on recurrent cycles of selection, mating, and testing. However, long …

Plant hydraulics mediate terrestrial woody plant productivity, influencing global water,
