Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding molecular mechanisms that control photosynthesis and water use efficiency in response to drought is crucial for plant species from dry areas. This study aimed to identify QTL for these traits in a Mediterranean conifer and tested their stability under drought. RESULTS: High density linkage maps for Pinus pinaster were used in the detection of QTL for photosynthesis and water use...
