1 Introduction Pests and pathogens constantly threaten forest trees, and their impacts are changing as climates are altered (Seidl et al. 2017; Simler-Williamson, Rizzo, and Cobb 2019). Knowledge about the genetic architecture of pathogen resistance and the identified candidate resistance (R) genes provides the basis for genomic breeding to improve tree resilience to forest pathogens.

Abstract In recent decades, Dothistroma needle blight (DNB), a pine tree disease caused by the fungal pathogen Dothistroma septosporum, has severely damaged lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex. Loud.) in British Columbia, Canada. The pathogen has already shown signs of host shift eastward to lodgepole × jack hybrid pine populations, and possibly into pure jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.). However, we have little knowledge about mechanisms of resistance to D.
