Hydrochory, or the passive dispersal of organisms by water, is an important means of
propagule transport, especially for plants. During recent years, knowledge about hydrochory …

Trees are key ecosystem engineers. Many analyses of the genetic diversity of forest trees
over substantial parts of their distributional ranges are appearing. These studies are of …

The benefits and risks of human-aided translocation of individuals within the species range,
assisted gene flow (AGF), depend on the genetic divergence, on the rate and direction of …

Over the next century, climate change will dramatically alter natural resource management.
Specifically, historical reference conditions may no longer serve as benchmarks for …

Abstract Background Grapevine (Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera) is one of the most important
and ancient horticultural plants in the world. Domesticated about 8–10,000 years ago in the …

Using 20 SSR markers well scattered across the 19 grape chromosomes, we analyzed
4,370 accessions of the INRA grape repository at Vassal, mostly cultivars of Vitis vinifera …

Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) is involved in the biosynthesis of lignin, a
component of plant cell wall which negatively impacts paper pulp processing and biomass …

The seasonal timing of growth events is crucial to tree distribution and conservation. The
seasonal growth cycle is strongly adapted to the local climate that is changing because of …

Introduction Poplar is a tree species with important production and application value. The
symbiotic relationship between poplar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has a key …

Over the last 200 years, genetic resources of forest trees have been increasingly transferred,
within and outside of species' native distribution ranges, for forestry and for research and …
