Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab is a devastating disease of barley that severely reduces
the yield and quality of the grain. Additionally, mycotoxins produced by the causal Fusarium …

Understanding the genomic basis of local adaptation is crucial to determine the potential of
long-lived woody species to withstand changes in their natural environment. In the past …

In species with large and complex genomes such as conifers, dense linkage maps are a
useful resource for supporting genome assembly and laying the genomic groundwork at the …

Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) is the most widespread coniferous tree in the boreal forests of
