This study identifies key genetic loci associated with stomatal and leaf traits in Populus trichocarpa that contribute to climate adaptation, showing smaller stomata in genotypes from arid regions.

The paper quantifies the photosynthetic benefit of amphistomy in Hawaiian ilima, finding greater advantages in coastal plants compared to montane plants.

This study investigates whether stomatal patterning in amphistomatous leaves minimizes CO2 diffusion path length, finding that stomatal overdispersion and coordination between leaf surfaces have minimal impact on photosynthesis.

This study uses GWAS to identify candidate genes for drought tolerance in coast redwood and giant sequoia, finding 78 and 6 marker-trait associations respectively.
