Genome-Wide Association Study in European Beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) for Drought Stress Related Traits
1 Introduction In forest tree improvement, different tree stands exposed to specific environmental conditions are sampled and tested in provenance trials (Langlet 1971; Rellstab et al. 2015). Adult trees are later tested because growth and quality trait measurements from juvenile trees are not reliable (Neale and Kremer 2011).
Dendrocalamus strictus : a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge and future research priorities
Abstract Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees is one of the most ecologically and economically important bamboo species in India, inhabiting approximately 53% of the bamboo-bearing area. Owing to its high biomass productivity, drought tolerance, carbon sequestration potential, versatile utility, and adaptability to degraded environments, D. strictus has emerged as an important species for supporting rural livelihoods, land restoration, and climate change mitigation.
Bark beetle ( Ips typographus ) protein elicitors trigger temporally structured immune responses in Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) seedlings
Abstract Norway spruce (Picea abies) responds to attacks by the spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) through the rapid activation of local defense mechanisms, but field studies can be difficult to standardize due to variable attack pressure and environmental heterogeneity. Here, we developed a phytotron-based assay that mimics early beetle-associated stress using insect-derived protein extracts, enabling reproducible molecular analyses under controlled conditions.
A Phytophthora infestans CRN1-derived small RNA is predicted to target the potato immune regulator EDS1
ORIGINAL RESEARCH article Volume 17 - 2026 | doi: 10.3389/fpls.2026.1791978 Reviewed by ORIGINAL RESEARCH article SS Shailja Singh CD Christina Dixelius Plant Biology and Forest Genetics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden, 750 07 Article metrics View details Abstract The late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans (Pi), causes severe damage to plants in the Solanaceae family. Although knowledge regarding the P.

Development of New Chloroplast Microsatellites for Pinus gerardiana and their Application in Genetic Diversity Analyses
1 Introduction To unravel the complexities of plant population structure and genetic variation, the chloroplast (cp) genome serves as an invaluable resource (Daniell et al. 2016; Provan et al. 2001). The chloroplast genome is paternally (via pollen) inherited in conifers and does not recombine (Powell et al. 1995a).
Land‐use changes impact root-fungal network connectivity in a global biodiversity hotspot
1 INTRODUCTION Tropical rainforests are highly diverse ecosystems that contain a wide array of micro-habitats and organisms (Eiserhardt et al., 2017; Wardle et al., 2004). Yet, rainforests face major threats due to their rapid replacement with cash crop plantations such as oil palm and rubber (Rembold et al., 2017; Zemp et al., 2023). For example, the ongoing agricultural expansion has resulted in ~21 million hectares of oil palm plantations globally (Descals et al., 2021; Tedersoo et al., 2014).
