Genotype-by-environment interaction and genetic dissection of heartwood color in Cryptomeria japonica based on multiple common gardens and quantitative trait loci mapping.

Abstract excerpt

The heartwood color of a major plantation tree Cryptomeria japonica shows high variability among clones and cultivars, and brighter heartwood has higher value in the usage of non-laminated wood such as in traditional construction, which makes heartwood color an important trait in breeding of this species. However, the genetic basis of the interactions between genetics and the environment on heartwood color has...
