This book is the first comprehensive compilation of research on state‐of‐the-art genomics on the most advanced model tree species including genome assemblies, insights into genomic structural features and methylation patterns, whole‐genome resources used for population genomics and adaptation to climate, enabled breeding vs. classical genetics and traditional breeding, comparative genomics, and elucidations on functional genomics. The latest developments in the genomics of wood formation are particularly highlighted. Altogether, the book contains over 300 pages in over 15 chapters authored by globally reputed experts in the relevant fields of this tree crop’s genomics research. This book is useful for students, teachers, and scientists in academia and governmental or private tree improvement agencies or companies interested in genetics, pathology, entomology, physiology, molecular genetics and breeding, in vitro culture and genetic engineering, land restoration, and agroforestry solutions.

About the Author
Dr. Ilga Porth is a well‐experienced research scientist with research achievements in forest tree genomics, functional genomics and genetics fields. Her research findings were published in around 80 peer‐reviewed articles and in plant sciences’ top‐ranked journals such as New Phytologist, Plant Physiology, Tree Physiology, Nature Communications, Science or Molecular Ecology. She is also the editor of The Spruce Genome with Springer. She obtained her M.Sc. in Biochemistry, and her Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Vienna. She worked at The University of British Columbia as a Research Associate in spruce and poplar functional genomics. She is currently an Associate Professor in Functional Genomics at the Département des sciences du bois et de la forêt, Université Laval, in Québec, and a Principal Investigator at the Institut de Biologie Intégrative et des Systèmes.
Dr. Jaroslav Klápště has achieved expertise in quantitative genetics and statistical genomics with a focus on forest trees. He is mainly interested in exploring tree phenotypic response to changing environmental conditions by exploring genotype by environment interactions supported by genomics and enviromics. Additionally, he is interested in a dissection of the genetic architecture of complex traits through genome-wide association mapping and the prediction of unobserved phenotypes through genomics and its implementation in operational forest tree breeding programmes. His research was published in around 80 peer-reviewed articles. He graduated from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague with a MSc in Forestry and a PhD in Dendrology and Forest Tree Breeding. After graduation, he successfully applied for a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of British Columbia focused on statistical genomics. Currently, he is a Forest Geneticist at Scion (New Zealand Forest Research Institute), working on projects focused on implementing genomic selection in forest tree breeding programs.
Dr. Athena McKown is an experienced researcher in plant biology and applied genomics, including physiology, anatomy and morphology, and ecology. Her research is published in top-ranked journals, including New Phytologist, American Naturalist, Molecular Ecology and Plant Physiology. She obtained her BSc (Honours) in Plant Biology at the University of Alberta and PhD in Plant & Microbial Biology at the University of Toronto. She worked as a research postdoc at the University of California (Los Angeles) and University of British Columbia focusing on adaptive ecology and tree genomics. She continues as a Lecturer and Research Associate at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Forest & Conservation Sciences.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
