SNPs in a Large Genomic Scaffold Are Strongly Associated with Cr1R, Major Gene for Resistance to White Pine Blister Rust in Range-Wide Samples of Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana).

Abstract excerpt

Sugar pine, Pinus lambertiana Douglas, is a keystone species of montane forests from Baja California to southern Oregon. Like other North American white pines, populations of sugar pine have been greatly reduced by the disease white pine blister rust (WPBR) caused by a fungal pathogen, Cronartium ribicola, that was introduced into North America early in the twentieth century. Major gene resistance to WPBR...
