MoreGot results on local adaptation in tree species?
A systematic review on local adaptation in tree species has so far yielded 4700 references from across the world. Researcher David Boshier and his co-workers are now looking for any other publications…
MoreUtility of closely related taxa for genetic studies of adaptive variation and speciation: Current state and perspectives in plants with focus on forest tree species
Studies of adaptation and speciation have greatly benefited from rapid progress of DNA sequencing and genotyping technologies. Comparative genomics of closely related taxa has great potential to…
MoreEstimating potential range and hence climatic adaptability in selected tree species
Estimating climatic conditions within the potential range of different species is important, as it can assist evaluating their ability to tolerate climate change. Further reading : Booth TH. 2016.…
MoreNative fruit tree genetic resources in Japan
The diversity of climate, from subarctic to subtropical, and the complex geological history of Japan have produced a rich biodiversity. The flora includes several hundred species of native woody…
