Association mapping of adaptive and breeding traits in east Texas loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) breeding populations using high-density SNP genotyping

Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is the most commercially and ecologically important tree in the Southeastern US and is the main species in the Western Gulf Forest Tree Improvement Program (WGFTIP), one of the largest tree improvement programs in the US. Recent availability of genomic markers through the Conifer Translational Genomics Network (CTGN) has enabled a genome wide survey of population parameters in the WGFTIP loblolly pine breeding populations reported here.
