An overview of recent achievements and development of genomic resources in the
Fagaceae is provided, with major emphasis on the genera Castanea and Quercus. The …

Background Argentina has a long tradition of sunflower breeding, and its germplasm is a
valuable genetic resource worldwide. However, knowledge of the genetic constitution and …

Maritime pine (P inus pinaster A it.) is a widely distributed conifer species in S outhwestern E
urope and one of the most advanced models for conifer research. In the current work …

We explored single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variation in candidate genes for bud
burst from Quercus petraea populations sampled along gradients of latitude and altitude in …

Trees have long life cycles and become reproductively active only after several years. The
progress of tree breeding programs is therefore strongly dependent on the time needed to …

Background Cucurbita pepo is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, the second-most
important horticultural family in terms of economic importance after Solanaceae. The" …

High‐density SNP genotyping arrays can be designed for any species given sufficient
sequence information of high quality. Two high‐density SNP arrays relying on the Infinium iS …

Loci considered to be under selection are generally avoided in attempts to infer past
demographic processes as they do not fit neutral model assumptions. However …

Gene flow is a process of transferring and exchanging genetic material among groups of
organisms and is an important evolutionary factor that greatly affects genetic variation and …

Background High-throughput SNP genotyping has become an essential requirement for
molecular breeding and population genomics studies in plant species. Large scale SNP …
