Search for nucleotide diversity patterns of local adaptation in dehydrins and other cold-related candidate genes in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) (2008, background): “%) of phenotypic variation in cold tolerance in Scots pine (Hurme et al. 2000; Lerceteau et al. 2001; Yazdani et al. 2003) and many QTL with small effects in several other species (Howe et al. 2003).”
Adaptation, migration or extirpation: climate change outcomes for tree populations (2008, methodology): “…plasticity of most tree species may allow for the persistence of these nucleated populations until sufficient genetic variation is input via long-distance pollen flow for the establishment of populations sufficiently large and genetically variable to be viable and become locally adapted (Petit…”
Genomics of Cold Hardiness in Woody Plants (2014, background): “…overwinter, woody plants stop growing, become tolerant to low temperatures and often become dormant, that is their buds enter a state at which they will not grow even under favorable conditions unless a certain period of low temperatures has passed (Howe et al., 2003; Welling and Palva, 2006).”
Gene Flow and Local Adaptation in Trees (2007, background): “In trees, mapping is based on existing pedigrees because of the long generation times (Howe et al. 2003).”
Frost hardiness vs. growth performance in trembling aspen: an experimental test of assisted migration (2013, background): “However, such prescriptions, especially those that aim to pro-actively match planting stock to anticipated future climates, run the risk of mal-adaptation under current conditions, with frost damage the most obvious risk (Howe et al. 2003; Savolainen, Pyh€aj€arvi & Kn€ urr 2007).”
Suspendable macromolecules are responsible for ice nucleation activity of birch and conifer pollen (2012, background): “As it has been proven for other organisms that extracellular freezing is a protection mechanism developed by evolution in order to enhance the chance of survival in cold environments (Duman, 2001; Howe et al., 2003), the pollen IN could be indeed a cryoprotective adaptation, which prevents frost inj”
The genomics of local adaptation in trees: are we out of the woods yet? (2017, background): “…(e.g., bud flush, bud set), juvenile performance (e.g., germination rate, seed traits) and physiology (e.g., cold hardiness, water-use efficiency) have all been shown to be under moderate to high genetic control (reviewed in Corn-elius 1994, Howe et al. 2003, Alberto et al. 2013; this review).”
Spring frost and growing season length co‐control the cold range limits of broad‐leaved trees (2014, background): “Ecotypic differentiation of temperature requirements within the distribution range of tree species has been reported frequently (reviewed in Howe et al., 2003; Savolainen et al., 2007; K€orner, 2012); thus, we discuss the potential differentiations among the studied taxa with respect to each of our…”
Traits to stay, traits to move: a review of functional traits to assess sensitivity and adaptive capacity of temperate and boreal trees to climate change (2016, background): “In spite of this low population divergence, several experiments have revealed clines (continuous phenotypic variation along a latitudinal or elevational gradient) in growth-related traits and phenology in a number of boreal tree species, suggesting that local, potentially adaptive variations do exis”
Mapping of quantitative trait loci controlling adaptive traits in coastal Douglas-fir. IV. Cold-hardiness QTL verification and candidate gene mapping (2005, background): “Most genetic variation in cold-hardiness appears to be a function of timing of gene action (Howe et al. 2003).”
Altitudinal differentiation in growth and phenology among populations of temperate-zone tree species growing in a common garden (2009, background): “Because of the strong relationship between phenology and fitness, natural populations growing under contrasting temperature regimes are expected to undergo diversifying selection for dates of leaf unfolding and leaf senescence (Worrall 1983; Howe et al. 2003; Ohsawa and Ide 2008).”
Deacclimation and reacclimation of cold-hardy plants: Current understanding and emerging concepts (2006, background): “Plant species in cold climates have evolved adaptations such as dormancy, rapid acclimation, and maintainence of high cold hardiness throughout winter singly or in combination [3–5].”
Intra-specific variability in biomass partitioning and carbon isotopic discrimination under moderate drought stress in seedlings from four Pinus pinaster populations (2010, background): “Less phenotypic plasticity is expected for populations enduring more stressful abiotic environments (Rehfeldt et al. 1999; Howe et al. 2003; Valladares et al. 2007).”
Quantifying phenological plasticity to temperature in two temperate tree species (2010, background): “Common garden experiments have shown clinal variation in adaptive traits according to the climate of the tree populations (Morgenstern 1996; Howe et al. 2003; Premoli, Raffaele & Mathiasen 2007; Vitasse et al. 2009a; Viveros-Viveros et al. 2009).”
