Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The North American-native ornamental tree, flowering dogwood (Cornus florida L.), has a showy bract display that can range in color from white to pink to deep red. Although many trees have white bracts, there is consumer demand for novel pigmentation in the bracts combined with other traits of interest. Because the genetic basis of all traits in flowering dogwood is unknown, combining them using...
