Time to get moving: assisted gene flow of forest trees
SN Aitken, JB Bemmels - Evolutionary applications, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Geographic variation in trees has been investigated since the mid‐18th century. Similar
patterns of clinal variation have been observed along latitudinal and elevational gradients in …

Association mapping: critical considerations shift from genotyping to experimental design
The goal of many plant scientists' research is to explain natural phenotypic variation in terms
of simple changes in DNA sequence. Traditionally, linkage mapping has been the most …

Genome‐wide association genetics of an adaptive trait in lodgepole pine
Pine cones that remain closed and retain seeds until fire causes the cones to open (cone
serotiny) represent a key adaptive trait in a variety of pine species. In lodgepole pine, there …
