Abstract excerpt
This study elucidated the genomic basis of family-level growth variance in the critically endangered endemic Mexican spruces Picea martinezii and P. mexicana by: (i) analyzing family- and population-level variations in seedling basal diameter and height after 12 months of growth under common garden conditions and seed weight as maternal provisioning trait; and (ii) identifying genomic loci (SNPs) associated with...
