Abstract excerpt
Flushing date (bud burst) is one of the most important traits for the adaptation to different environments and climates in the temperate zone. Because of their wide geographic distribution, Quercus robur L. and Q. petraea (Matt.) Liebl. are suitable as model plants to study the genetic basis of bud burst. QTLs (Quantitative Trait Loci) with comparatively large effects have been mapped in a former study in a Q....
