Abstract:Identifying the genetic basis of traits underlying climate adaptation remains a key goal for predicting species responses to climate change, enabling the elucidation of gene targets for future climate-resilient crops. Here, we measured 14 leaf and stomatal traits under control (well-watered) and drought conditions, subsampling a diversity collection of over 1,300Populus trichocarpagenotypes, a potential biofuel feedstock crop. Stomatal traits were correlated with the climate of origin for genotypes, such that … Show more
