Genomic models outperformed pedigree in predicting traits in UK Sitka spruce, despite sparse marker data. As genomic data grows, so will accuracy - highlighting the promise of genomics in tree breeding. #Genetics #TreeBreeding #GenomicSelection

Genome-Wide Network Analysis of Above- and Below-Ground Co-growth in Populus euphratica | Plant Phenomics Tree growth is the consequence of developmental interactions between above- and below-ground compartments. However, a comprehensive view of the genetic architecture of growth as a cohesive whole is po...
