The paper analyzes genomic data from UK black alder populations to identify loci associated with environmental adaptation and assesses maladaptation risks under climate change.

This paper identifies recurrent triploidy in cultivated enset, showing it increases yield and is selected by farmers.

The paper analyzes genomic diversity in elm trees to assess the genetic potential of resistant cultivars for restoration.

This study analyzes genomic differentiation in British oaks, finding hybridization, niche differentiation, and faster growth in triploid trees.

This study uses genomic data from English oak trees to estimate heritability and identify genetic markers associated with resistance to acute oak decline and powdery mildew.

The paper maps the distribution of 82,244 elm trees in Britain, identifying surviving species and hybrids planted as part of restoration efforts after Dutch elm disease.

The paper constructs a linkage map of the elm genome and identifies genomic regions associated with Dutch elm disease resistance from resistant species.

The paper develops a 4TREE SNP array for three forest tree species to support breeding and conservation programs.

This paper develops a genetic barcode system for ash species and generates wide hybrids to transfer resistance traits against pests and pathogens.

The paper develops a pangenome for European ash to identify genetic variation linked to low susceptibility to ash dieback disease.

The paper identifies SNPs and structural polymorphisms associated with growth traits in silver birch and evaluates their predictive power for growth rates across different environments.

The paper identifies 62 candidate genes showing molecular convergence in ash tree lineages with low susceptibility to ash dieback, with 11 linked to defense against fungal pathogens.

The paper presents the first draft genome of Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) using long-read sequencing, providing a resource for downstream analyses and functional gene annotation.

The paper analyzes genomic structure and diversity of oak populations in British parklands, identifying species composition, hybridization, and population history using whole-genome sequencing.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of European hazelnut, identifying gene families related to disease and allergy for crop improvement.
