Forest ecosystems provide important ecological services and resources, from habitat for
biodiversity to the production of environmentally friendly products, and play a key role in the …

Plantation‐grown trees have to cope with an increasing pressure of pest and disease in the
context of climate change, and breeding approaches using genomics may offer efficient and …

The constant rise in the global temperature and unpredictable shifts in precipitation patterns
are two of the main effects of climate change. Therefore, there is an increasing amount of …

Spruce (Picea spp.) species are the dominant component of the circumboreal forest and one
of the most reforested species groups in the world. They have become a reference among …

Background Genomic selection (GS) uses information from genomic signatures consisting of
thousands of genetic markers to predict complex traits. As such, GS represents a promising …

Spruces (Picea spp.) are coniferous trees widespread in boreal and mountainous forests of
the northern hemisphere, with large economic significance and enormous contributions to …

As boreal forests face significant threats from climate change, understanding evolutionary
trajectories of coniferous species has become fundamental to adapting management and …

Phenology is an important indicator of environmental variation and climate change impacts
on tree responses. In conifers, monitoring phenology of photosynthesis through remote …

Genomic selection (GS) has a large potential for improving the prediction accuracy of
breeding values and significantly reducing the length of breeding cycles. In this context, the …

Abstract The NLRs or NBS-LRRs (nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich-repeat) form the largest
resistance gene family in plants, with lineage-specific contingents of TNL, CNL and RNL …
