White pine weevil is a major pest of conifers in North America, especially for Spruce trees. Constitutive defenses are important in understanding defense mechanisms because they constitute the initial barrier to attacks by weevils and other pests. Resistant and susceptible trees exhibit constitutive...
ORGANISM(S): Picea engelmannii x Picea glauca 
Inferring the heritability of gene expression is one of the main areas of the field of genetical genomics. With the possibility to treat the abundances of gene transcripts as a suite of quantitative traits, genetical genomics can make an extensive use of the microarray technology. Here we extended a...

A 21.8k spruce EST-spotted microarray was utilized to examine the genetic basis of constitutive defenses against herbivory. From twelve-year-old trees originating from partial diallel pedigree that segregates for resistance against Pissodes strobi, bark tissue of apical leaders was harvested at the ...
