Abstract

Genetic and evolutionary questions are being addressed in pines using a host of high-throughput sequencing strategies, including whole-genome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and target enrichment of nuclear genes. Some of the questions being addressed include the genetic basis of pathogen and drought resistance, differential expression, genetic map**, phylogeography, and phylogenetics. Pine genomes are enormous, ranging from 20 to 40 Gb. At present, draft genomes are available for only two pine species, P. taeda (loblolly pine) and P. lambertiana (sugar pine), but most other approximately 80 species of North American pines have been represented in evolutionary studies based on complete plastomes, low-copy nuclear genes, and transcriptomes. A number of online databases have been developed and made publicly available for comparative studies of pines and other conifers.
