SALISBURY, N.C. — Students at Catawba College announced a significant milestone in their collaborative research on White Oak genetics and tree improvement. The work of students in the Envirosmart ...

Mapping your family tree can be a fun and interesting way to learn more about your personal history. Now researchers have done that on a much bigger scale, to create a family tree for the human race.

Genealogical and genetic ancestors aren’t the same thing. A DNA match − or a lack of one − may not tell you what you imagine ...

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

NORTHERN MICHIGAN (WPBN/WGTU) -- We're highlighting a project to improve the growing conditions and market for Fraser fir Christmas trees. Michigan is one of the top Christmas tree producing states, ...

Reforestation projects should include a variety of tree species and ensure genetic diversity within each species to maximize new forests' health and productivity. Reforestation projects should include ...

Genes affect when trees put forth leaves in the spring. Understanding how could help scientists adapt trees to be more resilient to climate change. One of the surest signs of spring is the vibrantly ...
