Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify loci associated with different traits, which could be evaluated in subsequent studies and later be prioritized in individual and seed stand selection. In trees, traits are measured at maturity or are only available after a long time, and juvenile-mature correlations are often unknown. Therefore, it is a promising approach to study natural populations...
