Abstract:Conifer forests worldwide are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the
effects of climate change. Although phenolic compounds (PCs) have been
shown to be modulated by biotic and abiotic stresses, the genetic basis
underlying the variation in their basal composition remains poorly
documented in conifers. We used QTL mapping and RNA-Seq to explore the
complex polygenic network underlying the constitutive production of PCs
in white spruce (Picea glauca) full-sib progeny for two years. QTL
detection was conducted f… Show more
