Our long term goal is to genetically dissect complex traits and understand the relationship between naturally occurring genetic and phenotypic variation in forest trees. In this project we will identify relationships between naturally occurring genetic and phenotypic variation in Pinus taeda L.
Loblolly pine, a gymnosperm, is well-positioned phylogenetically to help us understand the evolution of adaptive traits in land plants. To assign biological roles to genes of unknown function and to define gene networks of adaptive significance, a population genomic approach (association genetics) will be used to study how allelic sequence variation among individuals results in phenotypic differences....
