This study identifies bioactive metabolites from the endophytic fungus Annulohypoxylon purpureonitens using metabolomics and bioactivity screening, revealing compounds with antibacterial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties.

The paper characterizes PAL homologs and metabolomic profiles in conifers under shade, suggesting potential PTALs and Tyr as a lignin precursor.

The paper identifies a single QTL associated with the Pendula phenotype in Norway spruce using QTL mapping across two F1 progenies.

This study shows that divergent selection on macro-phenotypes in Norway spruce predates the Last Glacial Maximum, with stem diameter being under selection while tracheid dimensions and juvenile growth are not.

The paper identifies genetic variations in PHY and CRY genes associated with differential light response in Norway spruce across latitudes.

The paper introduces a distance-based exclusion method (DBE) for parental assignment using microsatellites, showing it outperforms traditional exclusion methods in assigning offspring with fewer errors.

The paper uses GWAS to identify genetic loci controlling tracheid properties in Norway spruce, finding 31 loci and 26 novel candidate genes.

The paper improves genomic selection in Norway spruce by incorporating non-additive effects and marker-by-environment interactions, leading to higher predictive ability and genetic gain.

The paper identifies 51 significant SNPs from 39 candidate genes associated with wood formation traits in Norway spruce using genome-wide association mapping.

The paper creates an ultra-dense haploid genetic map for Norway spruce to improve genome assembly and evaluate gene distribution across chromosomes.

This study evaluates genomic selection accuracy for growth and wood quality traits in Norway spruce using exome capture, finding that full-sib family structures and 8000 SNPs are sufficient for effective prediction.

This study evaluates genetic control of microfibril angle transition from juvenile to mature wood in Norway spruce and lodgepole pine using heritability estimates and regression functions.

The paper identifies QTL associated with adaptive traits in Scots pine using a three-generation pedigree, finding 62 significant QTL with variance explained up to 18.9%.

The paper develops and evaluates sequence-capture probes and associated SNPs for Norway spruce to improve genome assembly and population studies.
