Two unigene datasets of Pinus taeda and Pinus pinaster were screened to detect di-, tri-and
tetranucleotide repeated motifs using the SSRIT script. A total of 419 simple sequence …

The importance of natural selection for sha** adaptive trait differentiation among natural
populations of allogamous tree species has long been recognized. Determining the …

Background Cavitation resistance to water stress-induced embolism determines plant
survival during drought. This adaptive trait has been described as highly variable in a wide …

Twenty-three populations of Pinus pinaster (13 Aquitaine populations and 10 Corsican
populations) were analysed at three microsatellite loci and 122 AFLP loci. The aims of the …

Wildfire is a major ecological driver of plant evolution. Understanding the genetic basis of
plant adaptation to wildfire is crucial, because impending climate change will involve fire …

Understanding population‐scale processes that affect allele frequency changes across
generations is a long‐standing interest in genetic, ecological and evolutionary research. In …

Habitat fragmentation, ie, the reduction of populations into small isolated remnants, is
expected to increase spatial genetic structure (SGS) in plant populations through …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a propagation tool of particular interest for accelerating the
deployment of new high-performance planting stock in multivarietal forestry. However …

Abstract Background and Aims The study of local adaptation in plant reproductive traits has
received substantial attention in short-lived species, but studies conducted on forest trees …

Microsatellite transfer across coniferous species is a valued methodology because de novo
development for each species is costly and there are many species with only a limited …
