This study identifies drought response strategies and genetic markers in Siamese rosewood using transcriptomic and environmental data from drought experiments.

This study examines genetic diversity and population structure of pedunculate oaks in Wytham Woods, finding weak population structure and some inbreeding in young plantations.

The paper assesses transcriptome-wide SNP diversity and adaptive variation in conifers, finding limited convergence at the molecular level but increased convergence at gene family and biological process levels.

The paper identifies dense NLR gene clusters on single chromosomes in conifers, showing widespread genomic architecture and evolutionary significance.

The paper analyzes SNP data from Thuja plicata in UK woodlands to assess genetic diversity and effective population size under CCF management.

This study develops high-density linkage maps for Sitka spruce using SNP markers, enhancing genomic resources for conifers and supporting genome assembly and genetic management.

The paper presents genome assemblies and genomic scans of adaptive variation in two endangered rosewood species, predicting their vulnerability to climate change and proposing species-specific conservation strategies.

This study analyzes copy number variations (CNVs) in white spruce, finding they are mostly copy number losses, have high spontaneous mutation rates, and show transmission distortions affecting genetic variation.
