During the last two decades, DNA-based molecular markers have been extensively utilized
for a variety of studies in both plant and animal systems. One of the major uses of these …

Population‐genetic studies have been remarkably productive and successful in the last
decade following the invention of PCR technology and the introduction of mitochondrial and …

Adaptation to winter cold in temperate and boreal trees involves complex genetic,
physiological, and developmental processes. Genecological studies demonstrate the …

The study of variability within species is important to all biologists who use genetic markers.
Since the discovery of molecular variability among normal individuals, data have been …

Association studies are becoming the experimental approach of choice to dissect complex
traits in many organisms from humans to model plant systems. The candidate gene based …

Outbreeding species with large, stable population sizes, such as widely distributed conifers,
are expected to harbor relatively more DNA sequence polymorphism. Under the neutral …

The first papers on plant molecular population genetics were published approximately 10
years ago. Since that time, well over 50 additional studies of plant nucleotide polymorphism …

Forest trees have gained much attention in recent years as nonclassical model eukaryotes
for population, evolutionary and ecological genomic studies. Because of low domestication …

DNA polymorphism at 22 loci was studied in an average of 47 Norway spruce [Picea abies
(L.) Karst.] haplotypes sampled in seven populations representative of the natural range …

Two species with genomes of almost identical size, maize and human, have different
evolutionary histories, and as a result their genomes differ greatly in their content of …
