Résumé en anglais

Growth traits in trees are fundamental components of adaptation in a forest ecosystem and of productivity in planted forests. A number of processes determine tree growth, which are controlled by genetic and epigenetic factors that respond dynamically to environmental signals throughout centuries. Advances in genomics have allowed an increased comprehension of the complex mechanisms of tree growth and adaptation. Yet, the application of genomics to improving forest productivity and sustainability still entails capturing a large proportion of the total genetic variation controlling the component traits. Nonetheless, genetics and genomics are unifying disciplines that will serve well to dissect the variables and mechanisms of tree growth and development.< Réduire
