Candidate Genes Associated with Blister Rust Resistance in Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) Revealed through de novo Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Gene Expression Analysis

Creator:

Bair, Zolton J.

Abstract:

Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is an iconic North American high-elevation tree species currently threatened by climate change, mountain pine beetle, and white pine blister rust (WPBR), a lethal disease caused by the non-native fungal pathogen Cronartium ribicola. In collaboration with the USDA Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center, germplasm was...
