A fascinating #oaks #powderyMildew #genomic #commonGarden pairing for the morning:

Ekholm et al. 2017 do common-garden study with grafted pedunculate oaks from 12 mothers (clones) relocated into various positions in a forest stand in Finland to show that environment and genotype both influence susceptibility to powdery mildew. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ecy.1949

Bartholomé et al. 2020 use SNP genotyping in a common garden to tie susceptibility to two areas of the genome. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16319
