Breeding for climate adaptation: genetic variation and genomic selection for drought response in Scots pine. Chaudhary, R., Estravis Barcala, M., Fundova, I., Funda, T., Chen, Z., & Wu, H. X. BMC Genomics, 27(1):416, April, 2026.
Paper doi abstract bibtex Drought intensity and frequency are increasing under global warming in the boreal forests, and breeding for drought resistance will facilitate adaptation of new planting material to changing climate conditions. We used a tree-ring dataset of 559 individuals to study Scots pine genetic variation and the efficiency of genomic selection of drought-response traits (drought resistance, recovery and resilience), for the first time. From genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), 31,101 SNPs were generated and used for the study.
