With contributions by internationally reputed researchers in the field, this book presents the implications of the genomic revolution for conifers—promoting a better understanding of the evolution of these organisms as well as new knowledge about the molecular basis of quantitative trait variation. Both of these discoveries play important roles in their domestication. Topics include cytogenetics, patterns of nucleotide diversity, genetic mapping, integration of molecular markers in breeding, transcriptomics, advances in proteomics and metabolomics in gymnosperms, and economic importance.

This book is the first comprehensive volume on conifers detailing their genomes, variations, and evolution. The book begins with general information about conifers such as taxonomy, geography, reproduction, life history, and social and economic importance. Then topics discussed include the full genome sequence, complex traits, phenotypic and genetic variations, landscape genomics, and forest health and conservation. This book also synthesizes the research included to provide a bigger picture and suggest an evolutionary trajectory. As a large plant family, conifers are an important part of economic botany. The group includes the pines, spruces, firs, larches, yews, junipers, cedars, cypresses, and sequoias. Of the phylum Coniferophyta, conifers typically bear cones and evergreen leaves. Recently, there has been much data available in conifer genomics with the publication of several crop and non-crop genome sequences. In addition to their economic importance, conifers are an important habitat for humans and animals, especially in developing parts of the world. The application of genomics for improving the productivity of conifer crops holds great promise to help provide resources for the most needy in the world.

HiC-Pro is an optimized and flexible pipeline for processing Hi-C data from raw reads to normalized contact maps. HiC-Pro maps reads, detects valid ligation products, performs quality controls and generates intra- and inter-chromosomal contact maps. It includes a fast implementation of the iterative correction method and is based on a memory-efficient data format for Hi-C contact maps. In addition, HiC-Pro can use phased genotype data to build allele-specific contact maps. We applied HiC-Pro to different Hi-C datasets, demonstrating its ability to easily process large data in a reasonable time. Source code and documentation are available at http://github.com/nservant/HiC-Pro.

This Volume contains the papers presented by twenty-eight invited speakers at the symposium entitled, "Genetic Manipulation of Woody Plants," held at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, from June 21-25, 1987. Also included are abstracts of contributed poster papers presented during the meeting. That the molecular biology of woody plants is a rapidly expanding field is attested to by the large attendance and high level of enthusiasm generated at the conference. Leading scientists from throughout the world discussed challenging problems and presented new insights into the devel opment of in vitro culture systems, techniques for DNA analysis and manipulation, gene vector systems, and experimental systems that will lead to a clearer understanding of gene expression and regulation for woody plant species. The presence at the conference of both invited speakers and other scientists who work with nonwoody plant species also added depth to the discussions and applicability of the information presented at the conference. The editors want to commend the speakers for their well-organized and informative talks, and feel particularly indebted to the late Dr. Alexander Hollaender and others on the planning committee who assist ed in the selection of the invited speakers. The committee consisted of David Burger (University of California, Davis), Don J. Durzan (University of California, Davis) , Bruce Haissig (U. S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service), Stanley Krugman (U. S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service) , Ralph Mott (North Carolina State University), Otto Schwarz (Univer.sity of Tennessee, Knoxville), and Roger Timmis (Weyerhaeuser Company).

Technical advances have accelerated the structural and functional exploration of conifer genomes and opened up new approaches to study their physiology and adaptation to environmental conditions. This thesis focuses on the evolution of conifer genes and explores (i) the genomic factors that have impacted the evolution of gene structure and (ii) the evolution of a large gene family involved in drought tolerance, the dehydrins. The analysis of gene structure was based on white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) sequence data from BAC clones, the genome assembly and the gene space obtained from sequence capture. Through comparative analyses, we found that conifers presented more intronic sequence per gene than most flowering plants (angiosperms) and that the average intron length was not directly correlated to genome size. We found that repetitive elements, which are responsible for the very large size of conifer genomes, also affect the evolution of exons and introns. In the second part of the thesis, we undertook the first exhaustive analysis of the dehydrin gene family in conifers. The phylogenetic analyses indicated the occurrence of a series of gene duplications in conifers and a major lineage duplication, which caused the expansion of the dehydrin family in the genus Picea. Conifer dehydrins have an array of modular amino acid structures, and in spruce, these structures are particularly diverse and are associated with different expression patterns in response to dehydration stress. Taken together, our findings suggest that the evolution of gene structure is dynamic in conifers, which contrast with a widely accepted slow rate of chromosome evolution. They further indicate that the expansion and diversification of adaptation-related genes, like the dehydrins in spruce, may confer the phenotypic plasticity to respond to the environmental changes during their long life span.
