Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Understanding the genetic basis of adaptation and plasticity in trees constitutes a knowledge gap. We linked dendrochronology and genomics [single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)] for a widespread conifer (Pinus halepensis Mill.) to characterize intraspecific growth differences elicited by climate. METHODS: The analysis comprised 20-year tree-ring series of 130 trees structured in 23...
