Understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype is essential for the improvement of complex traits in economically important plant species. Improvements in genomic technology and ...

While fences can be attractive, they can also be expensive and create a feeling of being enclosed in your yard. Instead of building a fence to add privacy and security to your property, you can try ...

Scientists say they've generated the longest genome sequence to date, unraveling the genetic code of the loblolly pine tree. Conifers have been around since the age of the dinosaurs, and they have ...

East Texas is a region known for our lush pine forests. The combination of suitable climate, soil and historical ecological conditions has created a welcoming environment for our beloved pine trees.

A giant among trees, the loblolly pine boasts the largest set of genetic blueprints published to date. Even though it’s big on DNA letters, the pine’s instruction book lacks originality: About 82 ...

A new study suggests that pollen from the loblolly pine -- the most commonly planted tree in the southern US -- can still germinate after drifting long distances. The answer could have profound ...

The massive genome of the loblolly pine -- around seven times bigger than the human genome -- is the largest genome sequenced to date and the most complete conifer genome sequence ever published. This ...

One of Garland County's oldest and tallest residents has fallen. She stood for more than 120 years in a small copse of trees in the Indiandale neighborhood of Hot Springs. She fell with a booming ...

More than 50 years of genetics work to increase loblolly pine production in the Southeast has improved the trees' ability to act as carbon sinks that mitigate climate change, according to a new study ...
