As a midsized gene family conserved more by lineage than function, the typical plant
terpene synthases (TPSs) could be a valuable tool to examine plant evolution. TPSs are …

Currently, international development requires innovative solutions to address imminent
challenges like climate change, unsustainable food system, food waste, energy crisis, and …

Due to the economic and ecological importance of forest trees, modern breeding and
genetic manipulation of forest trees have become increasingly prevalent. The CRISPR …

The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) of California are massive, long-lived trees
that grow along the US Sierra Nevada mountains. Genomic data are limited in giant sequoia …

Investigating the evolution of plant biochemistry is challenging because few metabolites are
preserved in fossils and because metabolic networks are difficult to experimentally …

The genomic architecture and molecular mechanisms controlling variation in quantitative
disease resistance loci are not well understood in plant species and have been barely …

Research in forest tree species has advanced slowly when compared with other agricultural
crops and model organisms, mainly due to the long‐life cycles, large genome sizes, and …

Appropriate experimental design and sample preparation are key steps in metabolomics
experiments, highly influencing the biological interpretation of the results. The sample …

Whitebark pine (WBP, Pinus albicaulis) is a white pine of subalpine regions in the Western
contiguous United States and Canada. WBP has become critically threatened throughout a …

Fusarium circinatum poses a threat to both commercial and natural pine forests. Large
