This study examines population structure and local adaptation in Douglas-fir, identifying genetic diversity patterns and candidate loci for climate adaptation.

The paper produces a high-quality genome sequence for whitebark pine and identifies NLR genes associated with resistance to white pine blister rust.

This study uses GWAS to identify candidate genes for drought tolerance in coast redwood and giant sequoia, finding 78 and 6 marker-trait associations respectively.

The paper identifies 492 SNPs associated with climate variables in loblolly pine, showing adaptation is driven by allele frequency shifts with moderate to small effects.
