Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping of quantitative trait loci controlling adaptive traits in coastal Douglas-fir. I. Timing of vegetative bud flush.
TL;DR: Thirty three unique quantitative trait loci affecting the timing of spring bud flush have been identified in an intraspecific mapping population of coastal Douglas-fir, suggesting that geographic location plays a major role in the phenology of spring growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This is the first report of QTL interactions with specific environmental signals in forest trees and will assist in the identification of candidate genes controlling these important adaptive traits in perennial plants.

TL;DR: In this paper, two new high-throughput put techniques, computer tomography X-ray densitometry (CT scan) and pyrolysis molecular beam mass spectrometry (pyMBMS), coupled with quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis, were tested as a means to overcome the time and cost associated with conventional characterization of biomass feedstock components.
