Evergreen conifers are champions of winter survival, based on their remarkable ability to
acclimate to cold and develop cold hardiness. Counterintuitively, autumn cold acclimation is …

Drought is a major abiotic stress that adversely affects the growth and productivity of plants.

displays remarkable ecological breadth, occurring in environments ranging from temperate …

Earth's atmosphere is warming and the effects of climate change are becoming evident. A
key observation is that both the average levels and the variability of temperature and …

Radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) is one of the world's most domesticated pines and a key
economic species in New Zealand. Thus, the development of genomic resources for radiata …

Under the neutral theory, species with larger effective population size are expected to harbor
higher genetic diversity. However, across a wide variety of organisms, the range of genetic …

Understanding the consequences of local adaptation at the genomic diversity is a central
goal in evolutionary genetics of natural populations. In species with large continuous …
